[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
C     G        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
C     G        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
