               C             Em
Though i never lived like he wanted
      Am                 F
I was mindful of what he though me
         C                     
So now i beg and plead im on my 
 Em
bended knees
      Am              F
Cause father u rescue
                 C        Em   
And i've got the stars to show i 
         Am                   F
barely made it along life's road
              C                    
Cause when my life got dark he was 
    Em
the onlyiest part
   Am                              
He was the light at the end of the 
F
road

[Segunda Parte]

C            Em               Am
  When i was young boy growin up
           F
 in august town
C                 Em              
  We ate from the same pot we were
 Am          F
 idlings all around
C                 Em
  From corner to colour and corner
Am                F
  From rockers to jungle kentyre
C                 Em             
  Rising to dreadhieghts and 
      Am        F
river all around
             C                     
And then the footbal ground became 
   Em
my battlefield
       Am             F
And my life was so surreal
C             Em
  People were fallin all around
Am                            
  But jah helped me to stand my 
  F
ground
     C         Em          Am    
Only Jah, Only Jah Coud've Helped
                F

C           Em            Am  F
So now take it from me son
You can change the world today
Cause livin proof
Livin proof that crime doesn't pay
C           Em            Am  F
Though i never lived like
