I think this is pretty straightforward, but I'm not certain about the chord
progression on the "Everything's gonna be allright" part.

NO WOMAN NO CRY - V. Ford


Performed by Bob Marley and the Wailers on the Live! album

I think it's in A, so capo on the 2nd fret

VERSES:
G D Em C all the way through
Say I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown
Obba-obba-serving all the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we had good friends we lost
Along the way
In this great future you can't forget you past
So dry your tears I say

And
G D Dsus4 D Em C G C -> Am G D7
No wo- man no cry. No wo- man no cry.
'ere little darling don't shed no tears No wo- man no cry.

Say I remember when we used to sit


In the government yard in trenchtown
And Georgy would make a firelight
As it was love would burn in through the night.
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone (???)

Everything's gonna be all right Everything's gonna be all right
