F G Fm C A dedication to all the refugees worldwide
F G FmAh. One time
[Verse 1]
CSay, say, say
F G Fm C I remember when we used to sit
F G Fm COh. In the government yard in Brooklyn
F G Fm C Oba-observing the crookedness
F G Fm C As it mingled with the good people we meet
F G Fm C Good friends we had. Oh good friends we've lost
F G Fm C Along the way
F G Fm C In this great future you can't forget your past
F G Fm So dry your tears I say
CAnd to my peeps who passed away
[Chorus]
F G Fm C No woman no cry
F C F C No woman no cry, say, say, say
F G Fm C Hey little sister don't shed no tears
F C F No woman no cry
[Verse 2]
CSay, say, say
F G Fm C I remember when we used to rock
F G Fm COh. In a project yard in Jersey,
F G Fm C And little Georgie would make the fire light
F G Fm C As stolen cars passed through the night
F G Fm CAnd then we'd hit the corner store
F G Fm C For Roots, paper, and brew, brew
F G Fm C My drink's my only remedy
F G Fm For pain of losing family
CBut while I'm gone, Shorty
[Bridge]
F G Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright
Fm C Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright
F G Fugees come to the dance tonight
Fm C Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright
F G Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright
Fm COh! Ev'ry thing's gonna be alright
F GThe gunman's in the house tonight
Fm CBut everything's gonna be alright
F GOh ah oh ah
Fm COh ah oh ah
F GOh ah oh ah
Fm COh ah da da (oh ah)
F GOh ah oh ah
Fm COh ah oh ah, I'm high
F GOh ah oh ah

F G Fm C Hey little sister don't shed no tears
F C F No woman no cry
[Verse 3]
CSay, say, say
F G Fm C I remember when we used to sit
F G Fm C In a government yard in Trenchtown
F G Fm C Oba-observing the hypocrites
F G Fm CAs they mingled with the good people we meet
F G Fm C Good friends we had, oh good friend we’ve lost
F G Fm C Along the way, hey
F G Fm C In this great future you can’t forget your past
F G Fm C So dry your tears, I say
[Chorus]
F G Fm CAnd, no woman no cry
F C F C No woman no cry, say, say, say
F G Fm C Hey little sister don't shed no tears
F C F No woman no cry
[Outro]
GAnd to my peeps who passed away
F GOh ah oh ah

F GOh ah oh ah
Fm COh ah oh ah
