================================ NOTES: 1. Use barre chords (root on the E string) with a ska/reggae rhythm. 2. E should be played as a C-shaped barre chord (root on the A string). 3. These lyrics and chords/tab are only how I interpreted the song, so feel free to experiment/substitute/comment/etc. if you disagree! 4.
