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

(4)

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.

One more thing.

Let's get to[Gm]gether to [Eb]fight this Holy Arma[Bb]geddon, (One love.) So when the [Gm]Man comes there [Eb]will be [F]no, no doom.[Bb] (One song.) Have pity on [Gm]those whose chanc[Eb]es grow [Bb]thinner.

There ain't no hidding [Gm]place from the [Eb]Father [F]of Crea[Bb]tion. Sayin', One love, [F]one heart.

[Eb]Let's get to[Bb]gether and [F]feel all right.[Bb] I'm pleading to man-kind. (One love.)

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

(39)

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/

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

HAMMER

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)
