_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ [G] _ _ You [A] know, I think about _ [Bm] where I'd be without [A] reggae music
[F#m] and Jamaican [G] culture.
_ _ _ [A] _ I wrote this [Bm] song _ _ a long time ago.
[G] _ _ And _ [A] _
it's [Bm] really about _ all the [C#] beautiful things
that [G] Jamaican culture taught me [A] in my life,
like [Bm] how to eat well, _ _ how to [G] _ really
[A] _
be able to [Bm] decipher and dig through [F#m]
all the lies
and the deception [G] _ _ that [A] is in this world,
how [Bm] to find the real [F#m] truth, you know,
those _ real [D] kernels of reality [A] that _ make [Bm] life worth living. _ _
_ [G] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [A] _ Jamaican culture [Bm] has given this world so much.
_ [G] _ And I [D] just [A] hope that those people out [Bm] there
understand how this reggae music has transformed
[G] all of our lives, [A] you know?
_ [Bm] And this song is about that [G] spirit,
about that [D] beautiful [A] spirit that comes from Jamaica,
[Bm] _
reggae music, _ _ Rastafari.
Here we go.
