[Intro]
C G             Am                    F   
A dedication to all the refugees worldwide
C       G   Am
Ah. One time

[Verse 1]
     G       
Say, say, say
C   G        Am              F  
I remember   when we used to sit
C                     G            Am F
Oh. In the government yard in Brooklyn
C     G             Am         F
Oba-observing   the crookedness
C             G                    Am     F
As it mingled with the good people we meet
C               G       Am                 F   
Good friends we had. Oh good friends we've lost
CG        Am F
Along the way
C       G                Am                F   
In this great future you can't forget your past
C      G            Am 
So dry your tears I say
          F                    
And to my peeps who passed away

[Chorus]
C  G        Am F
No woman no cry
C  F        C         G       
No woman no cry, say, say, say
C          G            Am      F    
Hey little sister don't shed no tears
C  F        C  
No woman no cry

[Verse 2]
     G       
Say, say, say
C   G        Am              F   
I remember   when we used to rock
C                G          Am  F
Oh. In a project yard in Jersey,
C              G              Am       F    
And little Georgie would make the fire light
C         G                       Am   F
As stolen cars passed through the night
C        G            Am          F
And then we'd hit the corner store
C          G          Am      F   
For Roots, paper, and brew,   brew
C  G            Am         F
My drink's   my only remedy
C           G          Am
For pain of losing family
          F               
But while I'm gone, Shorty

[Bridge]
C                   G         
Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright
Am                  F         
Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright
C                  G            
Fugees come to the dance tonight
Am                  F         
Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright
C                   G         
Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright
Am                      F         
Oh! Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright
C                   G            
The gunman's in the house tonight
Am                     F         
But everything's gonna be alright
C       G    
Oh ah   oh ah
Am      F    
Oh ah   oh ah
C       G    
Oh ah   oh ah
Am      F            
Oh ah   da da (oh ah)
C       G    
Oh ah   oh ah
Am      F              
Oh ah   oh ah, I'm high
C       G    
Oh ah   oh ah
Am      F    
Oh ah   oh ah

[Chorus]
C  G        Am F
No woman no cry
C  F        C  G
No woman no cry
C          G            Am      F    
Hey little sister don't shed no tears
C  F        C  
No woman no cry

[Verse 3]
     G       
Say, say, say
C   G      Am              F  
I remember when we used to sit
C               G             Am  F
In a government yard in Trenchtown
C     G           Am       F
Oba-observing the hypocrites
C               G                    Am     F
As they mingled with the good people we meet
C                G       Am                F   
Good friends  we had, oh good friend we’ve lost
CG        Am      F
Along the way,  hey
C       G                Am                F   
In this great future you can’t forget your past
C      G             Am F
So dry your tears, I say

[Chorus]
C       G        Am F
And, no woman no cry
C  F        C         G       
No woman no cry, say, say, say
C          G            Am      F    
Hey little sister don't shed no tears
C  F        C  
No woman no cry

[Outro]
          G                    
And to my peeps who passed away
C       G    
Oh ah   oh ah
Am      F    
Oh ah   oh ah
C       G    
Oh ah   oh ah
Am      F    
Oh ah   oh ah
