As I couldn't find the sequence anywhere, I tried to tab it out. You let me know
in the comments what you think.
Intro is only: Cm with delay
Verse come into in a 4/4 tempo with classic reggae beat in 2 and 4.
Cm - Ab (two bars for each chord - strum 4 times)
Cm
Well now the youth man say,
Ab Cm - Ab
"I have come a long way, between this Earth and Zion"
Cm
And then the warrior say,
Ab Cm - Ab
"I too have made my way as I roll upon this rod of iron"
Cm (... and so on)
Now dem man go and they shall live up
But we shall stay to face this dragon war
And dem man go and dem man live up
But we shall stay to face this dragon war
For the Book does say,
Like the sand of the sea shores we shall lie
& the book does say the time shall come when I & I will testify
Fm Gm Bb Ab
Born out of de masses, cast us into the heart of Babylon
Run upon a Mount Sinai, oh Most High come make it so
*You get the feeling. On this part you only go one bar for each chord (strum twice)
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/groundation/jah_jah_know_crd.html ]
Cm Ab
Jah Jah, I know, know a savior, a sit upon a old rock log
Jah Jah, I know, know a savior, a coming from the tribe of Judah
Jah Jah, I know, know a savior, lie beyond a Wailing Wall
Jah Jah, I know, know a savior, Coming from a dis a heart of dragon war
*Now the break, anything in Cm blues scale sounds all right. Mess around with it.
Cm-Ab
Well now the youth man say,
"Yes, I have come a long way, between this Earth and Zion"
And then the warrior say,
"I too have made my way as I rule upon this rod of iron"
Now dem man go and they shall live up
But we shall stay to face this dragon war
And they shall go and dem man live up
But we shall stay to face this dragon war
Hollow de, hollow de, hollow their hearts
Hollow de, hollow de, hollow their words
No we'll never hear dem barking

Coming to dem I say, take them away to Israel
Ya call upon a Mont Sinai, oh Most High come make it so
