Reggae on the River Revolutionary
words & music by Darryl Cherney
Intro: (Em)(Bm)(Em)(Bm) (Em)
I came to the redwood forest
(Am) Off highway 101
(Em) Going to a Reggae
concert
Where all the (Am)
Humboldt hippies come
(Bm) I loaded up
my beat up Subar-(Am)u
With an (Bm) eighth
of an ounce of shake
and some baked tof-(Am)u
(Bm) I bought these
conga drums brand (Am) new (Bm)
Chorus: 'Cause
I'm a (Em) Reggae on the River revo-(Am) lutionary
I (Em) sit here by
the river and remain (Am) stationary
(2nd time) (Em) It's
a big old world out there it can be (Am) pretty scary
(3rd time) (Em) At
80 bucks a ticket, mon, it's (Am) monetary
(4th time) (Em) Inside
this barbed wire fence, I'm (Am) feeling Irie
'Cause I'm a (Bm)
Reggae on the (Am) River Revo-(Em) lutionary
I
bought some Rasta jewelry I bought some Rasta clothes
I even showed up
this year with a ring right through my nose
Those Reggae songs
they make me cry
The people fight
and the people die
While I just sit
here and get high
Chorus
The river's looking pretty
low
It's got a funky
smell and there ain't much flow
But if I could have
a single wish
It would be to see
a single fish
Beside the one that's
right here on my dish
Chorus
I think Bob Marley's really
grand
I've got my snow
cone in my hand
And to the Reggae
groove I move my feet
Just as long as I
stay out of the heat
This revolution can't
be beat
