[Verse 1]
C
Took the 60 bus
F
Out of downtown Campbell
      G            F               
Ben Zanotto he was on there he was 
C
waiting for me
C
All the punk rockers
F
And the moon stompers
    G          F                  
Are out on the corners where they 
C
sparing for change

C
I started thinking
    F
You know I started drinking
  G              F               
I don't really remember too much of 
C
that day
C
Something struck me funny
     F
When we ran out of money
G            F                  
Where do you go now when you're only
C
 15?


[Pre-Chorus]
         Bb
With the music execution
        F
And the talk of revolution
   G
It bleeds in me, oh and it goes


[Chorus 1]
C
  Give them the boot
    F          G
The roots, the radicals
C
  Give them the boot
    F          G
You know I'm a radical
C
  Give them the boot
    F          G
The roots, the reggae
   C         G
On my stereo


[Verse 2]
    C
The radio was playing
       F
Desmon Dekker was singing
       G  F      C
On the 43 bus as we climb up the 
hill
Continues after the ad
C
Nothin’ incoming
        F
But the reggae drumming
       G        F   C
And we all come from unloving homes

      C
I said “Why even bother?”
      F
And I pick up the bottle
    G          F              
Mr. Bus driver please let these 
  C
people on
C
Rude girl Carol
      F
Was a mini skirt girl
  G       F          C
My blurry vision saw nothing wrong


[Pre-Chorus]
         Bb
With the music execution
        F
And the talk of revolution
   G
It bleeds in me, oh and it goes


[Chorus 2]
C
  Give them the boot
    F          G
The roots, the radicals
C
  Give them the boot
    F          G
You know I'm a radical
C
  Give them the boot
    F          G
The roots, the reggae
   C         G
On my stereo
C
  On my stereo!!!
