[Intro]
Am G


[Chorus]
Am
The rich man, poor man, beggar man thief

Everyone claim that dem are the chief
G
The rich man buy, the poor man's life

The poor man take away the beggar man's wife
Am
Don't cry.. my brothers

Don't cry.. my sisters
G
These tears won't change the situation

It's just a form, a form of reaction


[Verse 1]
Am
If you step on fire, fire burn you

If you play with puppy, puppy lick your mouth
G
So stand up strong, you got to know where you belong

Say the weak ones now, will soon become strong


[Hook]
C Dm
Hey! Everything will soon be okay
C Dm
As soon as the war is over
C Dm
Jah children will be free to come over
C Dm
Singing and dancing, ready to take over
G G
Have some faith.. have a little faith



[Intrumental]
Am G


[Hook]
C Dm
Hey! Everything will soon be okay

C Dm
Singing and dancing, ready to take over
G G
Have some faith.. have a little faith


[Chorus]

The rich man, poor man, beggar man thief

Everyone claim that dem are the chief

The rich man buy, the poor man's life

The poor man take away the beggar man's wife

Don't cry.. my brothers

Don't cry.. my sisters

[Verse 2]
Am
Tell you if you step on fire, fire burn you

You play with puppy, puppy lick your mouth
G
So stand up strong, you got to know where you belong

Say the weak ones now, will soon become strong


Am
Don't cry, don't cry

Don't cry, don't cry
G
These tears won't change the situation

It's just a form, a form of reaction


A
Tell you if you step on fire, fire burn you

Play with puppy, puppy lick your mouth
G
Stand up strong, you got to know where you belong

Say the weak ones now, will soon become strong

Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry ...
