----------------...............


from 'Handsworth Revolution' (1978)

Intro:

Gm,

B7 Am (x8)

Verse 1:

[B7] Prediction, prediction [Am]foretold.
[B7] Prediction, yeh, from the [Am]days of old.
[B7] Prediction, yeh, from [Am]way back when,
The years Jah send, years Jah send.
[B7] Prediction, a long, long [Am]time ago.

Verse 2:

Se-[B7]lassie was neglected;
[Am] Tell me when?
Like the [B7]tales of The Messiah, yah;
All [Am]over again.
[B7] Garvey was rejected;
[Am] Tell me when?
Unlike the [B7]Baptist he has kept his head.
I said [Am]vank!
William [B7]Gordon and Paul Bogle led,
A rebellion 'cos they used their heads,
[Am] But had their necks in a noose.
Martyrs of [B7]freedom, freedom condemned,
But [Am]Jah Jah cut them loose, heh heh.

Verse 3:

[B7] Prophesised that,
[Am] We would suffer by,
[B7] Those who think themselves,
Su-[Am]perior to our colour, yes sah;
[B7] Descendants of,[Am]
Naiman the Leper.
Ask E[B7]lisha, offsprings of,[Am]
Naiman the Leper.

Chorus 1:
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/steel_pulse/prediction_crd.html )
If a [F#m]lie, ask Elisha, ask Elisha,
If a [G#m]lie, ask Elisha, ask Elisha.
If a [F#m]lie, ask Elisha, ask Elisha,
If a [G#m]lie, ask Elisha, ask Elisha.
If a [F#m]lie, ask Elisha, ask Elisha,
If a [G#m]lie, ask Elisha, ask Elisha.

Chorus 2:

To-[F#m]morrow's what we're on about,
To-morrow's what we're on about;
Not [G#m]yesterday.
To-[F#m]morrow's what we're on about,
To-morrow's what we're on about;
Not [G#m]yesterday.
It's [F#m]up to man to understand,
To have success upon this land;
He better [G#m]have some faith.

Break:

[F#m] Have some faith,
[G#m] Have some faith.
[F#m] Have some faith,
[G#m] Have some faith.
[F#m] Have,
[G#m] Some,
[F#m] Have, some,
[G#m] Faith.
[F#m] Have,
[G#m] Some,
[F#m] Have, some,
[G#m] Faith.

Interlude:

F#m G#m (x8)

Coda:

(Spoken):

[F#m] The impossible,
[G#m] Have a habit of happening,
[F#m] If you think a lie, I a-tell;

(Sung):

[G#m] Ask Elisha,
[F#m] Ask Elish,
[G#m] Ask Ellsha,
[F#m] Ask Elish,
[G#m] Ask Ellsha.
