  SITTING IN LIMBO- Jimmy Cliff

  

   E

  Sitting here in limbo, but I know it won't be long

   A                                             E

  Sitting here in limbo, like a bird without a song

                  B

  Well, they're putting up resistance

         A             B                E

  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:

            A                   E

  I don't know where life will lead me

         A                E

  But I know where I've been

           A                  E

  I can't say what life will show me

         A               E

  But I know what I've seen

            B                C#m

  Tried my hand at love and friendship

           B               C#m

  But all that is past and gone

  A                         B

  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

  

  E

  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.
