[Chorus 1]
B     F#        G#m
 Jah reigns over man
C#m               B
 Like the air over land
     F#          G#m C#m
Jah reigns over man
B     F#         G#m
 Jah reigns over man
C#m                     B
 Just like the rain over land
     F#          G#m C#m
Jah reigns over man


[Verse 1]
B                    F#
 Johnny looked at his father and said
G#m                 C#m                  B
"I'll be coming home soon" (coming home soon)
             F#         G#m C#m
Johnny was a good good man
B                 F#
 And though he lived in Babylon
         G#m       C#m
Johnny tried, he tried
B              F#      G#m C#m
 Johnny was a working man,  so I say
B            F#
 Some time ago
     G#m            C#m
For reasons no one knows
B                F#         G#m C#m
 Johnny trade his soul for gold


[Pre-Chorus]
        Emaj7
Now he's afraid
        D#m7      Emaj7 D#m7
Of the voice in his head
   Emaj7                            D#m7
Trying to hold on to who he used to be
     C#m7                 F#
Let righteousness be set free


[Chorus 2]
         B   F#  G#m
He said woy woy woy
C#m                B
 Like the rain over land
       F#              G#m     C#m
(Jah reigns) Jah reign over man
         B   F#  G#m
He said woy woy woy
C#m                B
 Like the rain over land
       F#                  G#m     C#m
(Jah reings) So Jah reigns over man


[Verse 2]
B          F#
 Time and time again
          G#m              C#m
Sandra was told to settle down
B                F#             G#m C#m
 She worked her fingers to the bones
B               F#
 But with five mouths to feed
G#m              C#m
 So lost in the things that she needs
B             F#         G#m C#m
 Fighting so hard to survive


[Pre-Chorus]
          Emaj7
Oh woman she cried
      D#m7     Emaj7
Tears fell from her eyes
D#m7 Emaj7
 Oh father please help to fill me
         D#m7
'Cause I'm thirsty
     C#m7                 F#
Let righteousness be set free


[Chorus 3]
           B   F#  G#m
She cried woy woy woy
C#m                B
 Like the rain over land
       F#              G#m     C#m
(Jah reigns) Jah reign over man
          B   F#  G#m
She said woy woy woy
C#m                B
 Like the rain over land
       F#                  G#m     C#m
(Jah reigns) So Jah reigns over man


[Bridge]
C#m                    D#7
 I and I never trod alone
                        G#m
Rasta see take I as his own
       G#madd9 G#m G#madd9 G#m            G#madd9 G#m
Our people         always     a fight down evil
C#m
 Day to day we live
     D#7
While some have nothing and some have lots to give
   G#m               G#madd9 G#m
But higher praise and         longer days
      F#
I and I still a try to lead a way


[Chorus 4]
 B   F#  G#m
Woy woy woy
C#m                B
 Like the rain over land
       F#              G#m     C#m
(Jah reigns) Jah reign over man
           B   F#  G#m
Children, woy woy woy
C#m                     B
 Just like the rain over land
       F#                  G#m     C#m
(Jah reigns) So Jah reigns over man
       B   F#  G#m
I say woy woy woy
C#m                B
 Like the rain over land
       F#              G#m
(Jah reigns) Jah reign over man / fade
