Chords for Celebrate Fishbone! Anniversary Video: 25 Years and Still Redhot!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F]
Dreadlocks, Mohawks, Fishbone united the divided communities [F] of America with a cross genre
of funk that influenced [G] today's biggest stars.
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
[F] _ If there's 12 levels, they're on the 13th level.
I've seen them do every style in the same song. _
_ It wasn't hip-hop, it wasn't funk, it was [Dbm] just some [F] different shit.
It sounded like it just came straight from the space, and that was [Ab] good enough for me.
[A] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ [A] _ _ [D] It was unique.
I don't think they had that [E] section in the record stores at the [A] time.
Seeing them play like they played before us, [B] I'm thinking, whoa.
They [Dbm] had the melodies and the chord changes and the horn parts.
It was working on so many levels.
I remember thinking, God, [Gb] how are we going to follow this? _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ They _ were so inspiring because they were so unique.
They influenced a lot of people to go on and do their own thing and take what they could from Fishbone.
[N] _ They should have been the band that went way beyond any of us that were influenced by _ _ them.
It's kind of a life-changing experience because _ [D] I think Fishbone is probably one of the best live bands I have ever seen in my life. _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] They were put on the earth to play, and it's evidenced by the fact that they keep doing it.
I've [Dm] seen them in so many different lineups, and the cool thing about it is that the music takes on the shape of whatever lineup it is.
So it's both this mythical, legendary [Eb] thing, but also this ongoing, [D] growing thing that always has that core to it.
Y'all feel like singing?
[Dm] You feel like you want to sing?
They keep on doing it.
They're committed.
It seemed as fresh as it was when I first saw them.
_ Yeah, you feel like singing, don't you?
You feel like singing?
Do _ you feel like singing?
Yeah! _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Oh! _ _
Oh!
_ _ _ Sing! _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Oh!
_ _ Oh!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [C] _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ Yeah!
All right [C] now!
[D] Yeah!
All right [C] now!
[D] Yeah!
All right now!
_ Yeah!
All [C] [D] right now!
I see the best of us [C] outside my [D] window.
I see the dummies by the least of our height.
I see the signs of silence [C] hidden in the [D] trees.
I can't come on no more than when the sun lifts out [Bb] the clouds my way.
_ [D] Sun lifts out the clouds my way.
[C] [Bb] Sun lifts out the clouds my way.
[C] Sun [D] lifts out the clouds my _ way. _ _ _ _
[C] _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ [D] _ _ _ [A] With pride [Bm] and love of music,
_ California's legendary [D] black punk sons continue to defy all categories.
_ A great piece of the past, [Am] a great deal of the [D] present,
and they've always been in the future.
_ [C] _ _ [G] I've never seen a group so [D] set in its ways on being [G] non-compromising,
_ absolutely in your [C] face and [D] to the point, and relentless.
_ [C] _ _ [D]
They did something that was unique and original.
That's fishbone.
[C] _ [Bb] Whoa!
_ _ [C] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
