This might be easier to play if you tune down a step. I think
that's how it's done on the record. The closing progression
was a bitch to figure, but I think I have it. Anyone have any
idea who Desmond Dekker is?

{With opening riff}
And if a ship meets your car
You know you can't go real far
Well they could treat you real nice
Or put a tracking device

{opening riff again}
I've got my hands on some sights
Electric glasses with lights
They got me feeling deluxe
For just a couple of bucks
Bb5 A5
Way down inside
I'm getting patterns from a trekker
And it sounds like soul records to me
They're waving hi from some gazebo
Waving on to Arecibo to me
I'm getting patterns from a trekker
And it sounds like soul records to me
I'm getting patterns from a trekker
And it sounds like Desmond Dekker to me
