[Verse 1]
C          G       Am              F
   Said I remember when we used to sit
C            G               Am         F
   In the government yard in Trenchtown
C           G            Am   F
   Oba, oba-serving the hypocrites 
        C            G                    Am        F
As they would mingle with the good people we meet      
C               G         Am             F
   Good friends we have, oh good friends we've lost 
C        G       Am      F
       along the way    (Yeah...)
C           G               Am        F
   In this great future you can't forget your past
C      G             Am        F
   So dry your tears I say       and

C     FM7 Am7 Dm C   F G Am7 G
   No woman, no cry
C      G             Am            F
   Dear little darlin', don't shed no tears
C      FM7 Am7 Dm C     F G     Am7    G
   No  woman,  no cry       Said,  said...
 
[Verse 2]
C           G      Am                  F
   Said I remember when we used to sit
C            G                Am          F
   In the government yard in Trenchtown
C               G              Am         F
  And then Georgie would make the fire lights,
         C             G                   Am      F
as it was, like a wood burnin' through the night
C                G              Am         F
   Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
C               G          Am         F
  Of which I'll share with you, (oooh).
C     G          Am        F
   My feet is my only carriage
C           G          Am                F
   So I've got to push on through.  But, while I'm gone, I mean
