*See the CHORUS for a better example of this

VERSE:

C                       G            D

Why boasteth thyself.........

C         G                    D    D7

Playing smart .........................

                  C                     G                D

I say you're working .......................

            C                G               D      D7

this:

VERSE 3: (just harmonies)

C       G      D          G

Oooooo To cut you down

 

Chord Shapes:

*I'm giving TWO options: The original way using 'reggae chords' and also
using

standard 'open chords' as its also fun to play it like that. Remember all
chords

are relative to the CAPO i.e play these chords with a CAPO on 3rd fret

REGGAE STYLE:

      G              C              D      (OR)     D              
D7    (OR)      D7            G7
