Notes
This album recorded durring the 
Wailers 1978 world
tour features the guitar sytlings of
 three great guitarists,
On one hand this album is filled 
with difficult bass/guitar
riff sycopation that almost defies 
transcription.  On the other
hand the general chord progression 
of many of the songs are quite
simple.  What follows are the chords
 played by Bob throughout the
songs.  Some songs only have one or 
two guitar chords, however
due to the sycopated riffs of the 
lead guitars the songs stay
musicallly interesting.
