One of my favorite Buju tunes. Buju is one of the best reggae artist of all time, and
song is awesome.

Intro (all down strokes, listen to song, its easy to figure out):
G#, G#, C#, D# (x3)
C#, C#, D#, G# (x1)
While I'm Living
Thanks I'll Be Giving
To the Most High You know
Chorus:
[G#]I'm living, while I am living
to the [C#]father I will [D#]pray
[G#]Only he know how we get [D#]through [C#]everyday
[G#]With all the hike in the price Arm and [C#]leg we have to [D#]pay
[C#]While our leaders [D#]play
Verse 1:
[G#]All I see people a rip and a [C#]rob and a [D#]grab
[G#]Tief never love fe see [C#]tief wid long [D#]bag
[G#]No love for the people who a [C#]suffer real [D#]bad
[C#]Another toll to the poll may [D#]God help we [G#]soul
[G#]What is to stop the youths from get [C#]out of [D#]control
[G#]Full up of education yet no [C#]own no payro[D#]ll
[G#]The clothes pon my back have [C#]countless eyehol[D#]e.
[C#]could go on and on the full has [D#]never been t[G#]old
Repeat Chorus
Verse 2:
[G#]Who can afford to run will run
But what about those who can't? They will have to stay
Opportunity a scarce, scarce commodity
In these times I say!
[G#]When mama s[D#]pend her last and [C#]send you go [D#]class
[D#]Never you ever [C#]play
[G#]It's a competitive world for low [C#]budget [D#]people,
[G#]Spending a dime while [C#]earning a n[D#]ickel
[G#]With no regards to [C#]who it may [D#]tickle
[C#]My cup is full to the [D#]brim
I could go [G#]on and on the full has [D#]never been [G#]told
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3:
All I see people a rip and a rob and a grab
Tief never love fe see tief wid long bag
No love for the people who a suffer real bad
Another toll to the poll may God help we soul
What is to stop the youths from get out of control
Full up of education yet no own no payroll
The clothes on my back have countless eyehole
Could go on and on and the full has never been told
Bridge: (Make sure to make a swift transaction between the G# and D#, the G# is only played
a brief second).
[D#](On and On) G#
Though this life keep getting me down
[D#]Don't give up now[G#]
[D#]Got to survive somehow[G#]
[C#]Could go on and on and the [D#]full has never been [G#]told
Repeat Chorus
Verse 4:
[G#]Who can afford to run will run
But what about those who can't? They will have to stay
Opportunity a scarce, scarce commodity
In these times I say!
[G#]When mama s[D#]pend her last and [C#]send you go [D#]class
[D#]Never you ever [C#]play
[G#]It's a competitive world for low [C#]budget [D#]people,
[G#]Spending a dime while [C#]earning a [D#]nickel
[G#]With no regards to [C#]who it may t[D#]ickle
[C#]My cup is full to the [D#]brim
I could go [G#]on and on the full has [D#]never been [G#]told
I could go on and on the full has never been told
I could go on and on the full has never been told
I could go on and on.......
The full has [C#]never...b[D#]een....to[G#]ooooold...
