Bob Marley - Rat Race: chords

Cm             A#                   Cm
Oh, what a rat race, oh, what a rat race!
               A#                    Cm
Oh, what a rat race; this is the rat race!
Rat race! (Rat race!)

       A#
Some a lawful, some a bastard, some a jacket:
               Cm
Oh, what a rat race, yeah, rat race!
       A#
Some a gorgon-a, some a hooligan-a,
some a guine-gog-a,
                 Cm
In this 'ere rat race, rat race! I'm singin' that:

A#
When the cat's away; the mice will play.
Cm
Political voilence, fill ya city, ye-ah!
A#
Don't involve Rasta in your say say;
Cm
Rasta don't work for no, C.I.A.

Chorus:
    A#                  Cm
Rat race, rat race, rat race, rat race! I'm sayin';

A#
When you think, is peace and safety;
a sudden destruction.
Cm
Collective security, for surety, ye-ah!
A#
Don't forget your history, know your destiny;
         Cm
In the a-bundance of water, the fool is thirsty.

Chorus:
    A#                  Cm
Rat race, rat race, rat race, rat race,
               A#
Oh, it's a dis-grace to see the human-race,
         Cm
in a rat race, rat race!

            A#
You got the horse race; you got the dog race;
                                          Cm
You got the human-race; but this is a rat race,
rat race!
