How to play Bob Marley song No Woman No Cry on guitar. I play it in the key of C, and there are 4 chords in the whole of the song: C, G, Am and F. For the verse it's the same chord sequence throughout: C, G, Am and F and the chorus is a bit different:

C G Am, F
No, woman, no cry

C F C, G
No, woman no cry (x2)

Said - said - said: I remember when we
used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown,
Oba - obaserving the ypocrites
As they would mingle with the good
people we meet.
Good friends we have, oh, good friends
weve lost
Along the way.
In this great future, you cant forget
your past;
So dry your tears, I seh.

CHORUS (same chords as chorus 1)

VERSE 2 (same chords as verse 1)

On the Live album it starts on Dflat but I prefer playing it in C for the guitar. I might put a capo on the first fret if I wanted to take it up a key and keep playing the strings open. Next video is how to play the chords C, G, Am and F

I made a vid about how to play these chords and it's here:

To play F I put my thumb on the 1st fret of the bottom E, 3rd finger on 3rd fret of A string, 4th finger on 3rd fret of D string, 2nd finger on 2nd fret of G string, 1sr finger on 1st frets of B string and top E string. I made a vid about an alterate way to play barre chords and it's here:

  • Clare,

    Thank you so much for your lessons. I've enjoyed watching and am trying to get into playing more reggae. I love many types of music and have been bouncing around, but would like to focus on folk and reggae for awhile. I have a question for you. I notice that you have at least two electric guitars. Which would be a good one for playing reggae. I kind on like the sound that Nneka gets from hers. Thanks again.
