Tuning: almost but not quite a 1/2 (E-flat) step down from standard
This is how this song is played on the Studio version. I think playing this way sounds
closer to the original then I have found.
Listen to the CD to get the timing right.. kind of a slow picking strum..

So dry your tears I say
No woman no cry
No woman no cry
said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown
And then Georgie would make a fire light
as it was our love would burnin through the night
Then we would cook oatmeal porridge
of which I'll share with you
my feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through..
