Jimmy Cliff People Lyrics

YEAR: 2002
Since its the summer vacation, I decided to post the tab of a reggae tune to this
website, mainly because reggae has quite a sunny rhythm and has been long associated with
summer if you know what I mean.
This one is played in the key of C/Am.
This is the main melody for both the intro and chorus;
During the chord sequence and considering this is a reggae song, I find its best to use
barre chords.
This is the chord sequence for the Intro and chorus:
For the verse;
Here is the whole song;
Intro:
Everybody, everybody, everybody, no
Dont forget her, dont forget her, no
Everybody, everybody, everybody, no
Dont forget her, dont forget her, no (x2)
Verse 1:
There comes a time when we must fight again
For what we know to be the truth
Here comes the day when we must rise again
To save ourselves reclaim our youth
Chorus:
So people lets get together and show our power
All over the world
So people lets get together and show our power
All over the world
Verse 2:
There comes a time to gather round again
To sit and learn each others ways
As of today lets start to laugh again
And hope and Joy is here to stay
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
(no chord sequence for this bit, just drums, but I cant work out the lyrics. It lasts
for eight bars)
Verse 3:
Love sees the way to make the best of things
The more we give, the more we get
We know the truth lies in the simple things
The simple thing lest we forget
Repeat Chorus
Some ranting verse
(same chord sequence)
Repeat Chorus
