Here it is completely broken down...
A5 <-> A6 (RIFF 1)
Stolen from an africa land
A5 <-> A6
Chased out with a knife
D5 <-> D6 A5 <-> A6
With a face like Bob Marley and a mouth like a motor bike
E5 <-> E6 F Am
Oh well the bars are always open and the time is always right
Dm F A5 <-> A6
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
Am
If I'm half pint I'm a lord up above
Dm
If I was Mike Tyson I'd look for a fight
Am
If I was a Boomtown Rat I would be stayin up all night
E F E
If I was the king I'd rock I would get stupid dumb
Am C F7M B
If rhymes were valium I'd be comfortably numb
Am C F7M B
If rhymes were valium I'd be comfortably numb
Am C F7M B B7
Giberish
Am A5 <-> A6
If I had a shotgun, you know what I'd do
D5 <-> D6
I'd point that shit straight at the sky
Am
and shoot heaven on down for you
E F Am
Because the bars are always open and the time is always right
Dm F Am
And if God's good word goes unspoken the 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
Dm
And I want to start static but I can't afford
Am
To get slammed to the ground I fall off my skateborad
E F E
Now a days as clear as you please
Am C F7M B
Get strap with protection or strap with disease
Am C F7M B
strap with protection or strap with disease
Am C F7M B B7
I'm strap with protection strap with disea(se)
Am
uh ooh uh uh uh uh
Am
daooh brah bump buh brump buh bump buh buh
Dm

Am

E F E
