As I pass the Dreadlock's camp, I heard them say;

So, I stopped to find out what was going on.
                              Dm7
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
         Cmaj7              Dm7               Cmaj7
'Cos the spirit of Jah; you know he leads you on.

Dm7          Cmaj7                Dm7                  Cmaj7
 There was a ring of Dreads and a session was there in swing.
                              Dm7
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
          Cmaj7                Dm7                 Cmaj7
You could feel the chill, as I seen and heard them say;
