REm DO
What was learned from my father, yes I'll teach it to my son
REm DO
What was learned from my mother, yes I'll teach it to my daughter
REm DO
For you must remember my friend, the line of history stretches far beyond we
REm DO
And still we stand time, and time again as a tribute to them
(we'll call this the pre-chorus)
DO REm LAm SOL
Well now tell me if there's one thing that you're wanting, you gotta let me know
REm LAm SOL
Tell me something, tell me anything, why did they all have to go
REm LAm SOL
For if there's one thing, that you're wanting, you gotta let me know
REm LAm SOL
Say something, say anything, before I have to go, for Zion is awaiting
(chorus)
REm LAm SOL
Jah people in this life, you got to be head strong, head strong
REm LAm SOL
Teach your children right, or they won't live too long, too long
REm LAm SOL
Jah people in this life, you got to be head strong, head strong
REm LAm SOL
Live up in the right, or you won't live too long, too long
REm LAm REm LAm REm LAm REm LAm
(Right here there there is a long instrumental part with the singer singing just a few
things in the distance, play those chords until it ends)
REm DO
What was learned from my father, yes I'll teach it to my daughter
REm DO
What was learned from my mother, yes I'll teach it to my son
REm DO
For it was them who said, don't get mixed up in your knowledge of today...
(And then head on back up to the pre-chorus and chorus for one more round, and that's it.)
