1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 During the chord sequence and considering this is a reggae song, I find it's best to use barre chords. This is the chord sequence for the Intro and Chorus: Dm|C|Dm| For the verse; F|C|Dm Here is the whole song; Intro: Dm C Dm Dm Everybody, everybody, everybody, no Don't forget her, don't forget her, no C Everybody, everybody, everybody, no Dm Don't forget her, don't forget her, no (x2) verse 1: F There comes a time when we must fight again C Dm For what we know to be the truth F Here comes the day when we must rise again C Dm To save ourselves reclaim our youth
Dm C So people let?s get together and show our power Dm All over the world Dm C So people let?s get together and show our power Dm All over the world
Dm C Dm verse 2: F There comes a time to gather round again C Dm To sit and learn each other?s ways F As of today let?s start to laugh again C Dm And hope and Joy is here to stay Repeat Chorus Bridge: (no chord sequence for this bit, just drums, but I can't work out the lyrics. It lasts for eight bars) verse 3: F Love sees the way to make the best of things C Dm The more we give, the more we get F We know the truth lies in the simple things C Dm The simple thing lest we forget Repeat Chorus Some ranting verse (same chord sequence) Repeat Chorus
