I was a very big Smokey fan and one of my favorite Smokey songs was It's Your Life.
_ How come you did it as a reggae?
As a reggae?
_ _ _ Well, when we were in Smokey we used to go _ in the studio and try a lot of songs out in different styles.
_ _ _ We'd go in and try different ways.
We used to do Elvis versions of things.
_ We had a song called _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ Stranger. _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] It went like this.
_ _ It was like one of those.
We did it in every kind of version you can think of.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ We [Em] always _ used to do this thing where we'd try and do different types of things.
It's Your Life was _ originally written by Mike Chapman and Nicky Chin.
Mike [G] came in and played it. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [G] It was like one of those. _ _
_ [Ab] Which we thought.
_ _ _ So we messed around with it.
We did [G] like an Elvis.
_ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ [A] _ [Em] We did all the [B] different versions of it.
