SITTING IN LIMBO- Jimmy Cliff

EE Piano Chord 

Sitting here in limbo, but I know it won't be long
AA Piano Chord 
                                             EE Piano Chord 

Sitting here in limbo, like a bird without a song
BB Piano Chord 

Well, they're putting up resistance
AA Piano Chord 
             BB Piano Chord 
                EE Piano Chord 

But I know that my faith will lead me on

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:
AA Piano Chord 
                   EE Piano Chord 

I don't know where life will lead me
AA Piano Chord 
                EE Piano Chord 

But I know where I've been
AA Piano Chord 
                  EE Piano Chord 

I can't say what life will show me
AA Piano Chord 
               EE Piano Chord 

But I know what I've seen
BB Piano Chord 
                C#mC#m Piano Chord 

Tried my hand at love and friendship
BB Piano Chord 
               C#mC#m Piano Chord 

But all that is past and gone
AA Piano Chord 
                         BB Piano Chord 

This little boy is moving on

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

EE Piano Chord 

Sitting 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)
