Refugees Chords by Jimmy Cliff

[Start]

[Verse]
Am                                  
Listen I'm a full G that's a refugee
                              Am  
My family paddled through the seas
                                     Am     
Made it through day but the night is calling
                                   Am     
Load on they back like when camels walking
Am                              
We gon' make it through the odds
      Am                                      
Every day that we live is blessing in disguise
                                         Am    
Do unto others as you would have done it to you
       Am                                
Listen that's just the word from the wise
   Am                                       
We live for the fate but we die on the truth
           Am                                     
'cause the proof only show that you care about you
Am                                         
About us if you really do give us this time
       Am                                   
We got women and children at the border line
                               A7
