bob marley - lion of judah chords
Start Jamming...
Reggae music is a people music, you know.
Reggae music is news.
It's news about your own self, your own history.
Things that you wouldn't really
They wouldn't teach you in a school, you understand?
Because they wouldn't tell you that Rastafari is God, you know what I mean?
And yet the Bible tells you that within 2000 years Christ shall return.
And when he returns, he's going to be king of kings, lord of lords, conqueror of the tribe of Judah.
Through the lineage of King Solomon and King David.
Now that is a reality of the world truth, and the truth is that his majesty is earth rightful ruler.
And he is Christ.
And that is Elisha Selassie I the first.
If his majesty should come to Jamaica, millions and all people will come out to see him.
[G#]
[F#] I would [Bm] say to the people, [C#] man, be still and know that his imperial [F#] majesty,
[G#] Emperor Elisha [D#] Selassie I of [G#m] Ethiopia [C#] is the almighty.
[F#] [Fm] [D#m] [A]
Lion [C#] of [N] Judah shall [Cm] break every chain.
Lion of Judah [A] shall break [C#] every chain.
[F#] [C#]
Lion of Judah shall break [F#]
every chain.
[Fm] [D#m]
Give us [C#] something [G#] to drink again and [F#] again.
[N] Freedom to me is when the people unite.
Freedom means I must be free within myself.
My mind must be free.
The only way my mind can be free is when I praise Rastafari.
The [C#] conquering lion shall [G#] break every chain.
The conquering lion shall break every chain.
[C#] The conquering lion
[G#m] shall [F#] break every [Fm] [D#] chain.
Give [C#] us something [G#] to drink again [C#] and again.
[F#]
[G#] [C#]
Selassie I is the king of kings.
No, which guy on earth rich like the king of kings?
