Stevie Salasのデビューアルバムに収録されている曲をカバーしました。実は2017年にも一回やっています。
僕が大学生だった1993年頃にバンドのレパートリーで演っていた事もあり、当時のアレンジで纏めました。

しかし・・・この曲難しい。イントロのギターリフなんですが、Stevie本人のように跳ねたグルーヴを出すのが非常に難しい。
ヤングギター的に言ったらここだけライオンマークです。全編Paul Reed Smithで弾きました。

＜歌詞＞
1. I’ve been talking to the boss man you know he keeps pushing me around
I think one of these days I’m gonna grab that sucker no you can’t keep good man down
I don’t know where you got this feeling That you gotta keep me in my place
Ain’t trying to get nothing that I ain’t got coming so you better keep out of my face

If there’s a mountain in my way, I’m going to climb it
I’ve been spent a lifetime crushing down the likes your kind
If I choose I cannot loose along the way I’m here to stay
Ain’t gonna play, hey hear me when I say
The Harder They Come the Harder They Fall

2. I’ve been talking to my iceman you know he ain’t leaving no ice
I’m about to slap my postman across the mouth you know I think he’s ringing twice
Silky smooth like a real operator is the way you wanna think
When the phone stops ringing and your door stops knocking baby don’t you come crying to me

If there’s ocean in my way I will divide it
I’ve been spent a lifetime crushing down the likes your kind
If I choose I cannot loose along the way I’m here to stay
Ain’t gonna play, hey hear me when I say
The Harder They Come the Harder They Fall

3. I’ve been talking to my iceman you know he ain’t leaving no ice
I’m about to slap my postman across the mouth you know I think he’s ringing twice
Silky smooth like a real operator is the way you wanna think
When the phone stops ringing and your hip stops knocking baby don’t you come crying to me
Say
