Submitted by chao on Thu, 2008-03-13 20:56
Saw this video today from BoingBoing.net, such a beautiful song. Never heard of him before, but according to Wikipedia, he is regarded as the "Father of Reggae", and a big influence on Bob Marley. I can see why. Thank you Internet. Now if only I can find the guitar chords for this song so I can play it too.

its a long the lines of G D Em and the C D Em, C D G... then just watch the video and look for the sevens he puts in there.

How are the chords to such a fantastic song so hard to find?
I know I'm a little late on this one, but it seems to me that the chords are:
Verse:
Every day my heart is sore
C D G
Seeing that I'm so poor
C D G
But I will not give up so easily
C D
There's a reward for me
C D Em
There's a reward for me
C D G
And then later on:
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
C D Em
You know no one cares for me
C
I've never known no sympathy
Em
Sometimes I look to this world with a smile
C D Em
Man you hear what I say
Am D
Hope this helps!!

arse jiggs is rolling in his

2nd verse: Though I'm
2nd verse:
Though I'm bordered down with shame
There's no one for me to blame
But I shall not give up so easy
There's a reward for me, there's a reward for me
