(intro)

(n.c)
 This generation, rules the nation, with version.
Music happen to be the food of love,
Sounds to really make you rub and scrub. I say;

(chorus 1)
Cmaj7                     Dm7
 Pass the Dutchie, on the left hand side,
Cmaj7                     Dm7
 Pass the Dutchie, on the left hand side.
           Cmaj7                       Dm7
It a gonna burn; give me music make me jump and prance,
        Cmaj7                           Dm7
It a go done; give me the music make me rock in the dance.

(verse 1)
         Cmaj7            Dm7          Cmaj7  Dm7
It was a cool and lovely, breezy after-noon.
          Cmaj7            Dm7              Cmaj7  Dm7
You could feel it, 'cos it was the month of June.
     Cmaj7            Dm7            Cmaj7  Dm7
So I left my gate and went out for a walk,
     Cmaj7                Dm7                Cmaj7  Dm7
As I pass the Dreadlock's camp, I heard them say;

(chorus 2)
Cmaj7                     Dm7
 Pass the Dutchie, on the left hand side,
Cmaj7                     Dm7
 Pass the Dutchie, on the left hand side.
           Cmaj7                       Dm7
It a gonna burn; give me music make me jump and prance,
        Cmaj7                           Dm7
It a go done; give me the music make me rock in the dance.

Cmaj7                     Dm7
 Pass the Dutchie, on the left hand side,
Cmaj7                     Dm7
 Pass the Dutchie, on the left hand side.
           Cmaj7                       Dm7
It a gonna burn; give me music make me jump and prance,
        Cmaj7                           Dm7
It a go done; give me the music make me rock in the dance.

(verse 2)
      Cmaj7               Dm7            Cmaj7
So, I stopped to find out what was going on.
                              Dm7
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
         Cmaj7              Dm7               Cmaj7
'Cos the spirit of Jah; you know he leads you on.
                              Dm7
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)

Dm7          Cmaj7                Dm7                  Cmaj7
 There was a ring of Dreads and a session was there in swing.
                              Dm7
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)
          Cmaj7                Dm7                 Cmaj7
You could feel the chill, as I seen and heard them say;
                              Dm7
(How does it feel when you've got no food?)

(chorus 3)
Cmaj7                     Dm7
 Pass the Dutchie, on the left hand side,
Cmaj7                     Dm7
 Pass the Dutchie, on the left hand side.
           Cmaj7                       Dm7
It a gonna burn; give me music make me jump and prance,
        Cmaj7                           Dm7
It a go done; give me the music make me rock in the dance.

Cmaj7                     Dm7
 Pass the Dutchie, on the left hand side,
Cmaj7                     Dm7
 Pass the Dutchie, on the left hand side.
           Cmaj7                       Dm7
It a gonna burn; give me music make me jump and prance,
        Cmaj7                           Dm7
It a go done; give me the music make me rock in the dance.

(break)
             Cmaj7                        Dm7
'Cos me say; listen to the drum, a-me say listen to the bass,
Cmaj7                          Dm7
 Give me little music, make me wind up me waist.
        Cmaj7                        Dm7
Me say; listen to the drum, a-me say listen to the bass,
Cmaj7                          Dm7
 Give me little music, make me wind up me waist.

        Cmaj7               Dm7
Me say; east, say west, say north and south;
Cmaj7                         Dm7
 This is gonna really make me jump and shout.
        Cmaj7               Dm7
Me say; east, say west, say north and south;
Cmaj7                         Dm7
 This is gonna really make me jump and shout.

(chorus 4)
Cmaj7                     Dm7
 Pass the Dutchie, on the left hand side,
Cmaj7                     Dm7
 Pass the Dutchie, on the left hand side.
           Cmaj7                       Dm7
It a gonna burn; give me music make me jump and prance,
        Cmaj7                           Dm7
It a go done; give me the music make me rock in the dance.

Cmaj7                     Dm7
 Pass the Dutchie, on the left hand side,
Cmaj7                     Dm7
 Pass the Dutchie, on the left hand side.
           Cmaj7                       Dm7
It a gonna burn; give me music make me jump and prance,
        Cmaj7                           Dm7
It a go done; give me the music make me rock in the dance.

(verse 3)
         Cmaj7            Dm7          Cmaj7  Dm7
