Could You Be Loved ?

DESCRIPTION

(Bob Marley)

At times Bob was aware of the need for pragmatism. Consciously recorded with a sound that would appeal to black American radio programmers, this love song - which went against the thematic grain of the political tunes he was writing at the time - was written when he needed something that would crossover in the US market. To some extent it was a ploy tht worked.

Cm,Cm,Cm,Cm Eb,Cm,Ab,Eb Eb,Cm,Ab,Eb,Cm

Could you be loved and be loved? Could you be loved and be loved?

Cm,Fm,Cm,Fm Don't let them fool you or even try to school you, Fm,Cm Oh, no! We've got a mind of our own Ab,Cm,Fm So go to hell if what you're thinking is not right Cm Love would never leave us alone. Ab,Gm,Bb In the darkness there must come out the light. Eb,Cm,Ab,Eb Eb,Cm,Ab,Eb,Cm Cm Cm Cm Cm Cm Cm Could you be loved and be loved? Could you be loved and be loved? The road of life is rocky and you may stumble too. So while you point your fingers someone else is judging you.( Love your brotherman) Could you be, could you be, could you be loved? Could you be, could you be loved? Could you be, could you be, could you be loved? Could you be, could you be loved?

Cm,Fm,Cm,Fm Don't let them change you, or even rearrange you Fm,Cm Oh, no! We've got a life to live Ab,Cm,Fm They say only, only, Cm only the fittest of the fittest shal survive, Ab,Gm,Bb stay alive. Eb,Cm,Ab,Eb Eb,Cm,Ab,Eb,Cm Could you be loved and be loved? Could you be loved and be loved?

Could you be loved and be loved? Say something... (Say something Reggae, Reggae Say something Rockers, Rockers Say something could you be loved)

Crazy Baldheads (Bob Marley - attributed to Rita Marley)

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.

I Shot The Sheriff

DESCRIPTION

(Bob Marley)

"I want to say 'I shot the police' but the government would have made a fuss so I said 'I shot the sheriff' instead... but it's the same idea: justice." Bob, Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh never blended and complemented each other better than in this timeless testimony of innocence and defiance from the Burnin album. 'If I am guilty I will pay!'. The song also provided Eric Clapton with a number one hit in America, drawing attention to Marley's extraordinary songwriting talents. The versions from Live! and Talkin' Blues were recorded from an extraordinary two night engagement in the summer of 1975 at the Lyceum Ballroom in London; the version on Talkin' Blues is taken from the first of the two concert nights.
Gm Gm I shot the sheriff, Cm Cm Gm Gm Gm Gm but I did not shoot the deputy. Gm Gm I shot the sheriff, Cm Cm Gm Gm Gm Gm but I did not shoot the deputy. Eb Dm Gm Gm All around in my home town Eb Dm Gm Gm they're trying to track me down. Eb Dm Gm Gm They say they want to bring me in guilty Eb Dm Gm Gm for the killing of a deputy, Eb Dm7 Gm Gm for the killing of a deputy. Gm Gm Gm Gm But I say: I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in selfdefence. I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in selfdefence. Sheriff John Brown always hated me for what I don't know. Ev'ry time that I plant a seed he said "Kill it before it grow," he said "Kill it before it grow." But I say: I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in selfdefence. I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in selfdefence. Freedom came my way one day and I started out of town. All of a sudden I see sheriff John Brown, aiming to shoot me down. So I shot, I shot him down. But I say: I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy. I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy. Reflexes got the better of me and what is to be must be. Ev'ry day the bucket goes to the well, but one day the bottom will drop out, yes one day the bottom will drop out. But I say:

I Shot The Sheriff

I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy Oh, no, oh I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy Ooh, ooh, ooh Yeah All around in my hometown They're tryin' to track me down, yeah They say they want to bring me in guilty For the killing of a deputy, for the life of a deputy But I say, oh, now, now... Oh, I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self defense Ooh, ooh, ooh

I said, I shot the sheriff, Oh Lord And they say it is a capital offense Ooh, ooh, ooh Hear this Sheriff John Brown always hated me For what I don't know Ev'ry time I plant a seed He said, "Kill it before it grows." He said, "Kill them before they grow." And so, oh, now, now, Read it in the news I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self defense Ooh, ooh, ooh Where was the deputy? I said I shot the sheriff but I swear it was in self defense Freedom came my way one day And I started out of town, yeah! All of a sudden I saw Sheriff John Brown Aiming to shoot me down So I shot, I shot, I shot him down And I say, if I am guilty I will pay I shot the sheriff, but I say, but I didn't shoot no deputy Ooh, no, oh I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot no deputy Ooo, ooo, ooh Reflexes had the better of me And what is to be must be Ev'ry day the bucket a-go-a well One day the bottom a-go drop out One day the bottom a-go drop out I say, I, I, ... I, I shot the sheriff, but I didn't shoot the deputy, no (Repeat)

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 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
