Chords for Vintage Third World Band

When Michael Cooper and Stephen Corr, originally members of Inner Circle and other bands, formed Third World in 1973,
it was the first time that a group of bright, young and fun-loving musicians swapped middle-class privilege [F] for a [Bbm] rootsier existence and a [Ab] different persona.

It's almost a hypnotic music.
It draws you to [Db] it.
[C] _
[Fm] Co-leader Stephen Corr also came from a solid [Cm] music background nourished by his mother Rita Corr.
Such an [Ab] advantage, coupled with [Fm] talent, has made Cat [Ab] musically versatile and among a handful [F] of reggae's best [Bbm] lead guitarists.

_ _ [Bbm] Richie Daly, [Ab] [Bb] Basie, is the least extrovert of the group and it's just as well.

[F] The Jamaican environment with [Ab] the mountains, the sea, the birds, the bush, everything.
[Gm] Even the city. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ William John Lee Stewart, Willie, is the powerhouse of Third World's rhythm section and his [C] feverish percussion [Bb] solos are a high point of their live [G] performance.

[Gm] _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [G] _
[C] _ [Ab] Jamaican people are [G] talented.
This is the most talented place in the world.

This is where the world has come.
I [Ab] look towards this little country here [Em] because it is a reflection of the [B] whole world.

_ _ [B] _ _ _ [Db] In the beginning, their [N] music, because of its polish and a combination of reggae with rock and R&B flavoring, was considered not rootsy enough.
Broad acceptance in Jamaica by the masses has come only in recent years.
Reggae music, however, benefited greatly from their [Bm] musicianship and their powerful live performance [C] has made them a group to reckon with.
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ [A] They impressed Stevie Wonder, [D] who performed with them [Bm] and produced them.
Their distinctive vocal [Gbm] harmonies have also been widely emulated.
