Rastaman

(Bob  Marley)
“Well, you see the people have a voice inside of them that talk to them, you know? That is the voice that these people must listen to. Because in everything you go and do, there is a wrong way and a right way, and if you listen good, you will know the right way.”

Intro:
A, B, E

A   B   E         A   B     E
      Immortal is   …  your legacy
A   B   E          A   B      E
     My mortal ears  …  don’t question thee
A   B      E                A   B       E
     And I frequently listen  …  to the sounds and descriptions
A   B   E                  A   B   E
        Music like religion  …     verses are the scriptures

Pre-Chorus:
A   B     A                     C#m
     Oh I know, just to be like that
A                   B
    Be perfect in a way, Oh

Chorus (2x):
      E         B
Now I know Rastafari
     A                 B
Well I don’t know that lifestyle
           E       B
But I know reggae
             A         B
Because of a Rastaman, yeah

Interlude:
E … A, B, E … A, B, E … A, B, E

A   B   E          A   B    E
      Immortal yes   …  you are to me, yes
A   B   E          A  B  E
     My motto goes:      Love the life you live, 
A          B                   E        
  Live the life you love and a-frequently listen 
A   B       E
     To the sounds and descriptions
A   B   E                  A   B   E
        Music like religion  …     verses are the scriptures

[Repeat Pre-Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus]

Bridge:
C#m                   A
   Every song he sang, and every word he said
E                         B
   Was never nothing short of a prophesy
C#m                       A
   Until thy kingdom come, until that last trumpet plays
E                            B
   His love will be the light showing you the way

[Repeat Chorus]

    1. It’s kind of weird. It helps to think of it starting with E instead of A. Try this.

      key:
      D = Down
      U = Up
      X = Chunk
      \ = 1 strum
      
       E                A             B
      DUX               D\            D\
