Burnin And Lootin By Bob Marley


        Am       Dm        Am        Am
        This morning I woke up in a curfew

        Am        Dm          E            E
        Oh god, I was a prisoner too - yeah
        Am              Dm               Am           Am
        Could not recognise the faces standing over me

        Am              Dm                       E            E
        They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality - eh

        Am               Dm                  Am           Am
        How many rivers do we have to cross

        Am         Dm              E                 E
        Before we can talk to the boss

        Am           Dm           Am                 Am
        All that we got seems lost

        Am             Dm             E             E
        We must have really paid the cost (That's why we gonna be)




       
        Am            Dm          Am               Am       
        Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (Say we gonna burn and loot)

        Am            Dm          Am                Am
        Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (One more thing)
       Chorus:
               Am            Dm          Am                Am              
               Burnin all pollution tonight  (Oh yeah, yeah)

               Am            Dm           Am               Am       
               Burning all illusions tonight (Oh stop them)

              




       Am            Dm               Am               Am
       Give me the food and let me grow

       Am             Dm             E             E
        Let the roots man take a blow

       Am            Dm               Am               Am
       All them drugs gonna make you slow now

       Am             Dm                E             E
       It's not the music of the ghetto






     
        Weeping and a-wailing tonight (Ooh can't stop the tears)
              
        Chorus:
        Weepin' and a-wailin' tonight (We've been suffering all                these long, long years)
              
        Weeping and a-wailing tonight

        Give me the food and let me grow
        Let the roots man take a blow
        All them drugs gonna make you slow now
        It's not the music of the ghetto


        We gonna be burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (To survive, yeah)
              
         Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight (Save your babies lives)
              
       Chorus: Burning all pollution tonight
               Burning all illusions tonight

               Burnin and lootin tonight
               Burnin and lootin tonight
