[Am] [Dm] [E] [F]
[Am] [C] [FM7] [B] [B7]
Here it is completely broken down...
A5A6 (RIFF 1)
Stolen from an africa land
A5A6
Chased out with a knife
D5D6 A5A6
With a face like Bob Marley and a mouth like a motor bike
E5E6 F Am
Oh well the bars are always open and the time is always right
Dm F A5A6
And if God's good word goes unspoken the music goes all night
And it goes...
[Am]If I was Bob Marley I said could you be loved
If I[Am]'m half pint I'm a lord up above
If I[Dm] was Mike Tyson I'd look for a fight
If I [Am]was a Boomtown Rat I would be stayin up all night
If I [E]was the king I'd rock I would[F] get stupid [E]dumb
If [Am]rhymes were vali[C]um I'd be [F7M]comfortably [B]numb
If [Am]rhymes were vali[C]um I'd be [F7M]comfortably [B]numb
Gib[Am]erish[C][F7M][B][B7]
Am A5A6
If I had a shotgun, you know what I'd do
D5D6
I'd point that sht straight at the sky
and shoot [Am]heaven on down for you
Because the [E]bars are always [F]open and the [Am]time is always right
And if God's [Dm]good word goes un[F]spoken the [Am]music goes all night
And it goes...
[Am]I want a lover but I can't find the time
[Am]I want a reason but I can't find the rhyme
And I [Dm]want to start static but I can't afford
To [Am]get slammed to the ground I fall off my skateborad
[E]Now a days as [F]clear as[E] you please
Get [Am]strap with pro[C]tection or [F7M]strap with [B]disease
[Am]strap with pro[C]tection or [F7M]strap with [B]disease
I'm [Am]strap with pro[C]tection str[F7M]ap with dis[B]ea(se)[B7]
