( Ebm Abm 3x) B Db

(or you can put capo on 1st fret and play Dm Gm Bb C)


Ebm                   
Certain things not change
        Abm
live is joy and its sorrow
    Ebm                       Abm
and Mama's always feeling the pain
Ebm                          Abm
Daddy's always working for a brighter tomorrow
B              Db 
under agony and strain


CHORUS
               Ebm 
(Ina time like now)
                Abm
Stand up to the face of the struggle
Ebm                     Abm
No more will you step a side
               Ebm 
(Ina time like now)
                    Abm
When the whole wide world is in trouble
     B                          Db
the fittest of the fittest will survive


Ebm                               Abm
Root alone nuh bear the fruit on this ya tree of living
     Ebm                         
and for the loot some man a shoot
    Abm
for this dem need forgiving
     Ebm
the bigger heads dem undercover
Abm
guns and drugs dem shipping
    B                      Db
not even little mercy come dripping
Ebm                              Abm
It's so hard for us to find some things we can believe in
Ebm                       Abm
Everything around us so attractive yet deceiving
Ebm
Peace within ourself is worth
    Abm
the hardship of achieving
B                     Db
Hold on tight till we leave


CHORUS

Ebm                           Abm
Never be afraid that you might fail
                    Ebm                        Abm
cause sometimes our train will come out of the rail
                      Ebm                       Abm
shall not to put your soul or your body out for sale
              B                       Db
you be like a prisoner charged without bail

   Ebm                                 Abm
If hope should disappear we ain't in a real of a trouble
    Ebm                          Abm
you got to keep your head up for sure
    Ebm                              Abm
And how we fit the pieces to the big jigsaw puzzle
B                               Db
destruction is knocking on your door
