Willie Nelson - The Harder They Come chords
Start Jamming...
[G#] Well, they tell me of a pie 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 even seem to hear you cry
So [Cm] as sure [F] as the sun [Fm] will shine
[A#m] I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
[G#] The harder they come, [F#] the harder they fall, [C#] one and all
[G#] The harder they come, [F#] the harder they fall, one [C#] and all
Well, [G#] the officers are trying to keep me down
[F#] Trying to drive me underground
And [G#] they think that they have got the battle won
I [F#] say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
[F] Cause as sure as the sun will shine
[A#m] I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
The [G#] harder they come, [F#] the harder they [C#] fall, one and all
The [G#] harder they come, [F#] the harder they fall, [C#] one and all
[G#]
[F#] [C#] I [G#] keep on fighting for the things I want
Though [F#] I know that when you're dead you can't
But [G#] I'd rather be a free man in my grave
[C#] [F#] Than living as a puppet or a slave
So [F] as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna [A#m] get my share now of what's mine
[G#] The harder they come, [F#] the harder they fall, [C#] one and all
The [G#] harder they come, [F#] the harder [C#] they fall, one and all
[G#] The harder they come, [F#] the harder they fall, [C#] one and all
