NATURAL MYSTIC (Bob Marley)

Dm G Am Am
There's a natural mystic flow thru' the air,
Dm G Am Am
if you listen carefully now you will hear.
Dm Am
This could be the first trumpet,
Dm Am
might as well be the last.
Dm Am
Many more will have to suffer,
Dm Am
many more will have to die,
Am Am
don't ask me why.
Things are not the way they used to be, I won't tell no lie.
One and all have to face reality now.
'Tho I've tried to find the answer
to all the questions they ask.
'Tho I know it's impossible
to go living through the past,
don't tell no lie.
There's a natural mystic bloom thru' the air, can't keep them down.
If you listen carefully now you will hear.

But you can't fool all the people all the time
And know we've seen the light
We gonna stand up for our rights

but I swear it was in selfdefence.
Sheriff John Brown always hated me
for what I don't know.
Ev'ry time that I plant a seed
he said "Kill it before it grow,"
he said "Kill it before it grow."
But I say:
I shot the sheriff,
but I swear it was in selfdefence.
I shot the sheriff,
but I swear it was in selfdefence.
Freedom came my way one day
and I started out of town.
All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown,
aiming to shoot me down.
So I shot, I shot him down.
But I say:
I shot the sheriff,
but I did not shoot the deputy.
I shot the sheriff,
but I did not shoot the deputy.
Reflexes got the better of me
and what is to be must be.
Ev'ry day the bucket goes to the well,
but one day the bottom will drop out,
yes one day the bottom will drop out.
But I say:

Judge Not by Bob Marley


F F7 A#
A#7
Don't you look at me so smoggy, and say I'm always bad
F C7
Who are you to judge me, and the life that I live
F F7 A# A#7
I know that I'm not perfect, and that I don't give to thee
F C7 A#
So before you bite you fingers, be sure your hands off me

CHORUS

Judge Not, before you judge yourself
A# C7
Judge Not, if you're not ready for judgement-----
F F7 A# A#7

The road of life is rocky, and you may stumble too

So while you talk about me, someone else is judging you

You're gonna lively up yourself and
Don't be no drag
You lively up yourself, oh
Reggae is another bag
You lively up yourself and don't say no
You're gonna lively up yourself

Don't be no drag
You lively up yourself

I'm a-trying to wonder why you act so
(Hey, do you hear what the man seh?)
Lively up your woman in the morning time, you'all
Keep a lively up your woman in the
Morning time, you'all
Keep a lively up your woman when
The evening come and take her, take ya

You rock so, you rock so


You dip so, you dip so
You skank so, you skank so
And don't be no drag
You come so, you come so
For reggae is another bag

Get what you got in that bag


What have you got in the other bag
You got hanging there?
What you say you got?
I don't believe you!

One cup of Coffee then I go, though I just dropped by to let you know
D# D#7 G#
That I'm leaving you tommorrow, I cause you no more sorrow
D# A#7 D#
One cup of coffee then I go

I brought the money, like my lawyer said to do


But it won't replace the heartache that I've caused you
It won't take the place of loving you, I know
So One cup of coffee then I go

Tell the kids I came last night and kissed them while they slept
G# A#7
Make my coffee sweet and warm, just the way you used to light my heart

I brought the money.......(repeat verse and fade)

A Bm

Ah! Ya too rude


Oh what a rat race
Oh what a rat race
This is the rat race

Some a lawful, some a bastard, some a jacket


Oh what a rat race, rat race

Some a gorgan, some a hooligan, some a guine-gog


In this rat race, yeah!
Rat race

When the cats away
The mice will play
Political voilence fill ya city
Yea-ah!
Don't involve Rasta in your say say
Rasta don't work for no C.I.A.
Rat race, rat race, rat race
When you think is peace and safety
A sudden destruction
Collective security for surety

Don't forget your history


Know your destiny
In the abundance of water
The fool is thirsty
Rat race, rat race, rat race

Human-race in a rat race, rat race
You got the horse race
You got the dog race
You got the human-race
But this is a rat race, rat race
The Heathen
// / /
Em C Bm

Rise up fallen fighters


Rise and take your stance again.
'Cause he who fight and run away
Live to fight another day.

Jah put the Heathen back


There upon the wall
Jah Jah put the Heathen back
There 'pon the wall

As a man sow, shall he reap


And I know that talk is cheap.
So the hotter the battle
Is the sweeter the victory.

Rise up freedom fighters


Rise and take your stance again.
'Cause he who fight and run away
Live to fight another day.

Jah put the Heathen back


There 'pon the wall
Jah Jah put the Heathen back
There 'pon the wall

War
Bm A

Until the philosophy which holds one race


Superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
Everywhere is war, me say war

That until there is no longer first class


And second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
Me say war

That until the basic human rights are equally


Guaranteed to all, without regard to race
Dis a war

That until that day


The dream of lasting peace, world citizenship
Rule of international morality
Will remain in but a fleeting illusion
To be pursued, but never attained
Now everywhere is war, war

And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes


That hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique,
South Africa sub-human bondage
Have been toppled, utterly destroyed
Well, everywhere is war, me say war

War in the east, war in the west


War up north, war down south
War, war, rumours of war

And until that day, the African continent


Will not know peace, we Africans will fight
We find it necessary and we know we shall win
As we are confident in the victory

Of good over evil, good over evil, good over evil


Good over evil, good over evil, good over evil

CRAZY BALDHEADS [Bob Marley (attributed to Rita Marley); Vincent ford] [= RASTAMAN VIBRATION (Track 6)]
Gm - Dm

Them crazy, them crazy -


We gonna chase those crazy
Baldheads out of town;
Chase those crazy baldheads
Out of our town.

I'n'I build a cabin;


I'n'I plant the corn;
Didn't my people before me
Slave for this country?
Now you look me with that scorn,
Then you eat up all my corn.

We gonna chase those crazy -


Chase them crazy -
Chase those crazy baldheads out of town!

/Scat singing/
---
Build your penitentiary, we build your schools,
Brainwash education to make us the fools.
Hate is your reward for our love,
Telling us of your God above.

We gonna chase those crazy -


Chase those crazy bunkheads -
Chase those crazy baldheads out of the yown!
---
/Instrumental break/

We gonna chase those crazy -
Chase those crazy bunkheads -
Chase those crazy baldheads out of the yown!
Here comes the conman
Coming with his con plan.
We won't take no bribe;
We've got [to] stay alive.

We gonna chase those crazy -


Chase those crazy baldheads -
Chase those crazy baldheads out of the yown.
HAMMER [Bob Marley]
D-E

They just keep holdin' me,


A-won't let go; Holdin' me; Won't let go!

I need a hammer - a hammer - a hammer - a hammer


To hammer them down!
I need a rammer - a rammer - a rammer - a rammer
To ram them down!

They just keep teasin' me


And, you know, they play like they don't know.
Provoking me, but this is all I know:

I need a rammer - a rammer - a rammer - a rammer


To ram them down!
I need a hammer - a hammer - a hammer - a hammer
To hammer them down!

Wee-ooh-ooh;

Oh, I need a rammer - a rammer - a rammer - a rammer


To ram-a them-a down!
Oh, I need a hammer - a hammer - a hammer - a hammer
To hammer them down! (Bis)

Holdin' me (ooh-ooh-ooh);
Won't let go (ooh-ooh-ooh).
Holdin' me (ooh-ooh-ooh);
Won't let go (ooh-ooh-ooh).

I need a rammer - a rammer - a rammer - a rammer


To ram-a them down! (Bis)

/Instrumental break/

I need a rammer - a rammer - a rammer - a rammer


To ram-a them down! (Bis)
