Verse 
C               G             Am            F 
Said I remember when we used to sit 
In the government yard in Trenchtown 
Oba-observing the hyypocritics 
As they mingled with the good people we'd meet 
Good friends would come, good friends have gone 
Along the way.    
In this bright future, you can't forget your past 
So dry your tears, I say 
 
Chorus 
 
(Verse 2,3) 
 
Said I remember when we used to sit 
In the government yard in Trenchtown 
And then Georgie, he would make the fire light 
Log wood burning through the night 
Then we would cook corn meal poridge 
Of which I'll share with you. 
My feet are my only carriage   
So I got to push on through 
But while I'm gone honey... 
 
C              G          Am       
Everything's gonna be alright, 
   F    C         G          Am     F 
Everything's gonna be alright  
(repeat 2x & adlib) 
 
Chorus
