Chords for Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad | Sugarshack Live & Direct (Part 1)

And when you tell a person between the ages of 16 and [Em] 65 that you're in a reggae band,
not to mention [Abm] you're called Giant [D] Panda Gorilla Dub Squad, but I mean like just think about [Ebm] that.
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] The members of Giant Panda Gorilla Dub Squad take many things seriously, but their name and
themselves are not [G] one of them.
Formed in 2001 in Rochester, New York, the band released their
sixth studio [Am] album in September.
[Gm] Make It Better hit [C] number one on the [G] Billboard Reggae Charts,
[A] though slipping their music into [Gm] a neat category is a [Ab] messy task.
[G] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _
[G] _ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ _ [Am] _ [G] _
_ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [Am] _
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _ [G] _ If a band's sound were a house, Giant Panda's foundation and walls [Am] would be reggae and [Bb] dub.
[Db] Enter, walk down the hallway.
You'll be led to various rooms.
Open a door [Bbm] and you're greeted
by honky-tonk country.
The next may be Americana or folk [Ab] and still another alternative [Bbm] rock.
Each room unto its own but part of a greater [Ab] whole.
_ _ With a [Bbm] jam band mentality, the band's live
[Ab] performances bleed and blend these different influences [Cm] while [Gb] relying on improvisation and exploration to make it work.
[Ab] _ _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ Yeah, show [Bbm] some signs.
_ _ [Ab] Yeah, _ you're a [Bbm] design.
_ _ [Ab] Yeah, it's a November [Bbm] sun.
Songwriting is practical and occasionally ventures into [Ab] political, but it's always earnest
and urges the listener to [Bbm] consider what one ought to be grateful [Ab] for as well as what one ought to improve.
I know [Bbm] James has said in the past in previous interviews that
betterment for your own lives is kind of a [Fm] constant goal that you all are seeking,
[Bb] and I think that's something [Gb] that most people can relate to no matter what walk of life
that they [N] are in.
So how do you, each of you, how do you make yourselves better year after year?
Who wants to fill that one?
If you [Db] want to take that one, man.
I mean, I [F] think we try to do it.
I'm not sure, I [Db] think, if we ever know that we're doing it, [Fm] but you get to look back over time and
see what you've done and see [Ab] where you've grown and seen the people that you've met and [F] the new
things that you've learned.
And [Bb] one of the most beautiful things about being in a band with a
group of people is that it really teaches you that the things that were really difficult at one [Fm] time
[G] are now not so [Db] difficult and there's [Em] new challenges [Gb] and, _ you know, constantly being able to like go
over to the [G] edge and [D] then the edge just becomes the surface, you [G] know, and you keep going a little
bit further.
So I think that that's a sign of making it better when you can look back at the
work that you've done, but [Am] foraging ahead sometimes you're unsure about it all.
[C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ [C] _ I'm off and running.
[G] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ First day's [C] just trying to let [G] my head up off the bed. _
_ [Am] Next [C] thing you know I'm [G] off and running.
_ _ Believe in you.
You can do [Am] anything you ever thought you wanted to.
The [C] work gets true and we'll [D] see you through.
There's a blue [G]-collar ethic to the group that grounds the music in a state of [D] familiarity,
[G] like that person you've known of but didn't know, [E] and once you meet [Bm] you wonder,
why haven't we been [Dbm] friends all along?
And there [Gbm] may be no better way to be [E] introduced to [Bm] them
than through the intimacy [Dbm] of an acoustic performance.
[Gbm] _
[Dbm] You [Bm] just gotta make a [Dbm] living, _ [E] _ _
_ any [Db] way, every day.
_ _ [Gbm] _
_ [E] _ _ [D] _ _ [Dbm] _ _ [Gbm] _
_ [E] _ [Dbm] _ [D] _ [Dbm] _ _ _ [Gbm] _
_ [E] _ [Dbm] _ [D] _ _ [E] _ [Gbm] _ _

_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Ebm] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ [A] _ [D] _ [Db] _ _
You just gotta make a living, any way, any day. _ _
