[Intro]
C# G# F# G#  C# G# F# F#


[Verse 1]
          G#
Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
       F#
Waiting for me when I die
       G#
But between the day you're born and when you die
        F#
They never seem to hear even your cry


[Chorus]
      Fm
So as sure as the sun will shine
         Bbm
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
              G#                   F#                          C#
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all
          G#                   F#                          C#
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all


[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)

Well the officers are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done


[Chorus]
      Fm
So as sure as the sun will shine
         Bbm
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
              G#                   F#                          C#
And then the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all
          G#                   F#                          C#
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall, one and all


[Interlude]
C# G# F# G# C# G# F# F# C# G# F# G# C# G# F# F# 
   ooh  yeah  oh  yeah  woh  yeah  ooooh


[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)

And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave


[Chorus]
          G#                    F#                          C#
Yeah, the harder they come, the harder they'll fall one and all
                               G# F# C#          G# F#
What I say now, what I say now,      a-
C#
  What I say now, what I say one time
     G#                  F#                            C#
The harder they come the harder they'll fall one and all
       G#                    F#                            C#
Ooh the harder they come the harder they'll fall one and all
