Song: Jetlife
Artist: Plush
Tabbed by: Justin John
This is one of my favorite South African bands and one of my favorite songs from them.
Thought I'd tab it for all the others out there who feel the same way :)
It's simple really. I left out all the little hidden solo guitar peices cause it'd
take me to long to tab out.
But you can always just improvise it. Its in the key of Em.
Jam it.

Lyrics
Jet life
I'm living life like a rock star
Oh how I really wanna go far
From here
Cool Cats, riding the town like they own it
That is something I will never get
Oh I will never get that
And I do believe that no one feels this pain
Inside of me...
*Chorus*
Well I'm jet life
Slow life
Picking up the broken pieces
Of my life
Tentative, hesitant bid God
It all looks positive
It's a shame about the world though
Lost dreams and no tomorrows
It's a shame it's shaking stuff up
You know it wouldn't be if we weren't so stuck up
'Cos we know nothing at all
If we didn't realize that we're so small
One shake out of the earth
One spin on the sea
We'll be squashed up bugs beneath God's feet
I said, all I have are believers,
Said, all I have are believers
Are you, a believer
We're all just dreamers
*Chorus*
Well the rest of the world is fighting
In a war that no one survives in
Young men are (can't tell word) before they've even lived
Well that doesn't seem fair to me
And Daddy's at home, he's angry
'Cos his son's no longer his property
Well, Man you had the long perception
'Cos he was never your possession
And woman walk around with mace in their bag
Just a piece of meat, waiting to be tagged
Well I can't believe this happens in my land
I can't believe the value of the Rand
Jet life
Everybody striving for a good life
Ain't nothing gonna happen if you sit around and waste time
You gotta move, you gotta prove, you gotta stay humble
Or this world will surely crumble
