Here it is completely broken down...

A5 <-> A6                    (RIFF 1)
Stolen from an africa land

A5 <-> A6
Chased out with a knife

       D5 <-> D6                  A5 <-> A6
With a face like Bob Marley and a mouth like a motor bike

            E5 <-> E6       F            Am
Oh well the bars are always open and the time is always right

             Dm               F           A5 <-> A6
And if God's good word goes unspoken the music goes all night


And it goes...

Am
If I was Bob Marley I said could you be loved

    Am
If I'm half pint I'm a lord up above

    Dm
If I was Mike Tyson I'd look for a fight

     Am
If I was a Boomtown Rat I would be stayin up all night

     E                            F           E
If I was the king I'd rock I would get stupid dumb

   Am              C         F7M         B
If rhymes were valium I'd be comfortably numb

   Am              C         F7M         B
If rhymes were valium I'd be comfortably numb

   Am              C         F7M         B     B7
Giberish

Am                  A5 <-> A6
If I had a shotgun, you know what I'd do

    D5 <-> D6
I'd point that shit straight at the sky

          Am
and shoot heaven on down for you

            E               F            Am
Because the bars are always open and the time is always right

             Dm               F          Am
And if God's good word goes unspoken the music goes all night


And it goes...

Am
I want a lover but I can't find the time

Am
I want a reason but I can't find the rhyme

      Dm
And I want to start static but I can't afford

   Am
To get slammed to the ground I fall off my skateborad

E             F       E
Now a days as clear as you please

    Am            C          F7M        B
Get strap with protection or strap with disease

Am            C          F7M        B
strap with protection or strap with disease

    Am            C          F7M        B        B7
I'm strap with protection strap with disea(se)

Am

Am
