Let us burn one from end to end
And pass it over to me my friend
Burn it long and burn it slow
to light me up before i go
[Chorus]
if you dont like my fire
then dont come around
cos i'm gonna burn one down
yes i'm gonna... burn one doowwwn
my choice is what i choose to do
and if i'm causing no harm it shouldn't bother you
your choice is who u choose to be
and if your causing no harm then its all right with me
herbs a gift from the earth
and whats from the earth is of the greatest worth
so before you knock it, try it first
and you'll see its a blessing its not a curse
I put into Nashville, Tennessee
But you wouldn't even come around to see me
And since your headin up to Carolina
You know I gonna be right there behind you
[Chorus]
'Cause I always have to steal my kisses from you
I always have to steal my kisses from you [X3]
Now I love to feel that warm southern rain
Just to hear it fall is the sweetest sounding things
And to see it fall on your simple country dress
It's like heaven to me I must confess
[Chorus]
Now I've been hangin around you for days
But when I'm leanin you just turn your head away
I know you didn't mean that
She said I love the way you think but I hate the way you act
[Chorus]
Yes indeed I'm alone again
and here comes emptiness crashing in
it's either love or hate I can't find inbetween
cause I've been with witches and I have been with a queen
[Chorus]
It wouldn't have worked out any way
so now it's just another lonely day
further along we just may
but for now it's just another lonely day
Wish there was something I could say or do
I can resist anything but temptation from you
but I'd rather walk alone then chase you around
I'd rather fall myself then let you drag me down
Yesterday seems like a life ago
cause the one I love today I hardly know
you I held so close in my heart oh dear
grow further from me with every fallen tear
[Intro] C Am Em F G C
All this talk of gettin' old
it's gettin' me down my love
like a cat in a bag
waiting to drown
this time I'm coming down
and I hope you're thinking of me
as you lay down on your side
now the drugs don't work
they just make you worse
but I know I'll see your face again
now the drugs don't work
they just make you worse
but I know I'll see your face again
But I know I'm on a losing streak
cause I passed down my old street
and if you wanna show
then just let me know
and I'll sing in your ear again
now the drugs don't work
they just make you worse
but I know I'll see your face again
[Chorus] cause baby ooohhhh
if heaven calls I'm coming too
Just like you said
you leave my life I'm better of dead.
All this talk of gettin' old
it's gettin' me down my love
like a cat in a bag
waiting to drown
this time I'm coming down
now the drugs don't work
they just make you worse
but I know I'll see your face again
[Chorus]
but if you wanna show
then just let me know
and I'll sing in your ear again
now the drugs don't work
they just make you worse
but I know I'll see your face again
[Middle 8] yeah I know I'll see your face again [X4]
[Fade out]
Never coming down,
I'm never coming down
no more no more no more no more no more
It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me
Do I look alright
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight
We go a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
That's walking around with me
And then she asks me
Do you feel alright
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight
I feel wonderful
Because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize
How much I love you
It's time to go home now
And I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
She helps me to bed
And then I tell her
As I turn out the light
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight
Lately I've been running on faith
What else can a poor boy do
But my world will be right
When Love comes over me
Lately I've been talking in my sleep
I can't imaging what I'd have to say
Except my world wouldn't be right
When Love comes back your way
[Chorus]
I've always been
One to take each and every day
seems like by now
I find a love who cares, cares just for me
Then we'd go running on faith
All of our dreams would come true
And our world will be right
When Love comes over me and you
Solo: chords as in verse 2
[Chorus]
Then we'd go running on faith
All of our dreams would come true
And our world will be right
When Love comes over me with you
Love comes over me for you

Early in the morning
Rise up to the street
Light me up that cigarette
and I'll slap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason
Reason thing went wrong
Got to find a reason
why my money's all gone
I got a dalmation
I can still get high
I can play the guitar
Like a motherfuckin' riot
LIfe is too short
So love the one you got
Cause you might get run over
or you might get shot
Never start static
I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with my
bulletproof vest
Take a small example
Take a tip from me
Take all of your money
Give it up to charity
Love is what I got
Is with in my reach
the sub rock styles
dealt straight from Long Beach
It come back to you
You're gonna get what you deserve
Try'n test that
Your bound to get served
Love's what I got
Don't start a riot
You'll feel it when
the dance get's hot
Love is
What i got
I said remember that
Love is
What I got
Now remember that
I don't cry
When my dog runs away
Don't get angry
Bout the bills I have to pay
Don't get angry
when my mom smokes pot
Hits the bottle
and goes right to the rock
Fuck it fight it
It's all the same
Livin with Louey Da's ???
The only way to stay sane
Let the lovin'
Let the lovin come back to me

"I've been loving you a long time
Down all the years, down all the days
And I've cried for all your troubles
Smiled at your funny little ways
We watched our friends grow up together
And we saw them as they fell
Some of them fell into Heaven
Some of them fell into Hell
I took shelter from a shower
And I stepped into your arms
On a rainy night in Soho
The wind was whistling all its charms
I sang you all my sorrows
You told me all your joys
Whatever happened to that old song
To all those little girls and boys
[CHORUS]
Now the song is nearly over
We may never find out what it means
But there's a light I hold before me
And you're the measure of my dreams
The measure of my dreams
Sometimes I wake up in the morning
The gingerlady by my bed
Covered in a cloak of silence
I hear you in my head
I'm not singing for the future
I'm not dreaming of the past
I'm not talking of the fist time
I never think about the last
[CHORUS]
i have fallen for another
she can make her own way home
and even if she asked me now
i'd let her go alone
i useta see her up the chapel
when she went to sunday mass
and when she'd go up to receive
i'd kneel down there and watch her pass
the glory of her ass
i useta lover, i useta lover once
a long, long time ago
i useta lover, i useta lover once
a long, long time ago
it's gone, all my lovin is gone
it's gone, all my lovin is gone
d'you remember her collectin
for concern on christmas eve
she was on a forty-eight hour fast
just water and black tea
i walked straight up and made
an ostentatious contribution
and i winked at her to tell her
i'd seduce her in the future
when she's feelin' loser
so now you know the truth of it
she's no longer my obsession
though the thoughts and dreams i had of her
would take six months in confession
see i met this young one thursday night
and she's inta free expression
and her mission is to rid the world
of this sinful repression
then we had a session
it's gone, long long gone
i have fallen for another
she can maker her own way home
Old Pirates, yes, they rob I.
Sold I to the merchant ships
minutes after they took I
from the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation triumphantly.
[Chorus]
Won't you help to sing
these songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had,
redemption songs, redemption songs.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery,
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look?
Yes, some say it's just a part of it.
We've got to fulfill the book.
[Chorus]
[Middle Bit] Em C D (X4)
[Repeat Verse 2]
[Chorus]
Won't you help to sing
these songs of freedom?
'Cause all I ever had, redemption songs,
'Cause all I ever had, redemption songs,
These songs of freedom, songs of freedom.
[Ending] C D C D
Say I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown
Obba-obba-serving all the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we had good friends we lost
Along the way
In this great future you can't forget you past
So dry your tears I say And
[Chorus]
No wo- man no cry.
No wo- man no cry.
'ere little darling
don't shed no tears
No wo- man no cry.
Say I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in trenchtown
And Georgy would make a firelight
As it was log wood burn in through the night.
Then we would cook cornmeal porridge
Of which I'll share with you
My feet is my only carriage
So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone I mean
(Play twice)
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
Everything's gonna be all right
[Chorus]
[repeat verse 2]

[Chorus]
One good thing about music
When it hits you, you feel no pain
One good thing about music
When it hits you, you feel no pain
So hit me with music
Hit me with music now yeah
Hit me with music
Brutalize me with music
Trenchtown rock - I said don't watch that
Trenchtown rock - I said do your job
Trenchtown rock - Never let your children cry
Cause you got to tell Jah Jah while you're movin
Kingston town movin
Kingston town woah
Kingston town
One little fear I found, you can't fool Jah no
One little fear I found, you can't fool Jah no
Cause they're movin, yes I'm movin
I said one good thing, one good thing
When it hits you, you feel no pain
One good thing about music - when it hits you, you feel no pain
