No Woman No Cry

by Bob Marley, covered by The Fugees

A dedication to all the refugees worldwide

One time say, say, say

/ C F C G / :

Said I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Brooklyn

Observing the crookedness

As it mingled with the good people we meet

Good friends we had, oh good friends we've lost   

Along the way

In this great future you can't forget your past

So dry your tears, I say, and to my peeps who passed away,

/ C G Am F / :

   No woman, no cry (2x)

   Here, little darlin', don't shed no tears

   No woman, no cry

   / C G Am F / C F C G / :

Said I remember when we used to rock

In the project yard in Jersey

And then Georgie would make a fire light

As stolen cars passed through the night

Then we'd hit the corner store

For roots, paper and brew, ooh ooooh

My drink's my only remedy

For pain of losing family, but while I'm gone, Shorty,

{Bridge}

Everything's gonna be all right (x2)

Fugees come to the dance tonight

Everything's gonna be all right

/ C G Am FG / / / C G Am F /

Everything's gonna be all right (x2)

The gun man's in the house tonight

Everything's gonna be all right

   Oh ah oh ah (x2 refrains)

   So woman no cry

   No, no woman, no woman, no cry

   Oh, my little sister, don't shed no tears

   No woman, no cry, say say say

Said I remember when we used to sit

In the government yard in Trenchtown

Observing the hypocrites

As they would mingle with the good people we meet

Good friends we had, oh good friends we've lost   

Along the way, hey

In this great future you can't forget your past

So dry your tears, I say, and

   No woman, no cry (2x)

   Oh my little darlin', don't shed no tears

   No woman, no cry, to my peeps who passed away

   Oh ah oh ah (x1 refrain)
