[Intro]
D A G A D A G
[Verse 1]
Well, they tAell me of a pie up in the sky
GWaiting for me when I die
But betwAeen the day you're born and when you die
They neGver seem to hear even your cry
[Chorus]
So as sF#ure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna gBmet my share now of what's mine
And then the haArder they come the haGrder they'll fall, one and Dall
Ooh, the hAarder they come the haGrder they'll fall, one and Dall
[Verse 2]
Well, the Aoppressors are trying to keep me down
GTrying to drive me underground
And they Athink that they have got the battle won
I say forGgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
[Chorus]
So as sF#ure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna gBmet my share now of what's mine
And then the haArder they come the haGrder they'll fall, one and Dall
Ooh, the hAarder they come the haGrder they'll fall, one and Dall

Ooh yeah Oh yeah Woh yeah Ooooh
D A G A D A G D A G A D A G

And I Akeep on fighting for the things I want
Though I Gknow that when you're dead you can't
But I'd Arather be a free man in my grave
Than living Gas a puppet or a slave
[Chorus]
So as sF#ure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna gBmet my share now of what's mine
And then the haArder they come the haGrder they'll fall, one and Dall
Ooh, the hAarder they come the haGrder they'll fall, one and Dall
[Outro]
Yeah, the haArder they come, the hGarder they'll fall one and Dall
What I say now, what I say now A   GawwDwA  G  D  
What I say now, what I say one time
The haArder they come the haGrder they'll fall one and aDll
Ooh, the haArder they come the haGrder they'll fall one and alEl
