SITTING IN LIMBO- Jimmy Cliff
SEitting here in limbo, but I know it won't be long
SAitting here in limbo, like a bird without a soEng
Well, they're puBtting up resistance
But I kAnow that my faBith will lead me Eon
Sitting here in limbo, waiting for the dice to roll
Sitting here in limbo, have some time to search my soul
Well, they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
CHORUS #1:
I don't knAow where life will lEead me
But I kAnow where I've beEen
I can't sAay what life will sEhow me
But I kAnow what I've seEen
Tried my hBand at love and fC#mriendship
But all tBhat is past and C#mgone
AThis little boy is moving Bon
Sitting here in limbo, waiting for the tide to flow
Sitting here in limbo, knowing that I have to go
Well, they're putting up resistance
But I know that my faith will lead me on
CHORUS #2:
I can't say what life will show me
But I know what I've seen
I can't say where life will lead me
But I know where I've been
Tried my hand at love and friendship
But all that is past and gone
This little boy is moving on
REPEAT THIRD VERSE
ESitting in limbo, sitting in limbo, etc...
NOTE: The song sounds better if you add these variations to E:
0 2 2 1 0 4 and 0 2 2 1 0 2 and then the usual 0 2 2 1 0 0
So, while strumming you can move down the E string with your pinkie.
Listen to the record to see what I mean.
(from The Harder They Come soundtrack, 1972)
