Well, here it is.  I looked everywhere for the tabs for this song, and
have only found the bass tab.  So, here's my version.  The solo sounds
good to me, but by all means, let me know if you have a better way of
playing this song.

Chords:
E--0----0----2-----2---|
B--2----0----2-----3---|
G--2----1----2-----2---|
D--2----2----4-----0---|
A--0----2----4---------|
E------------2---------|
   A    E    F#m   D
The chord progression throughout the whole song is this:

(all these chords are strummed 3x)   A  F#m   A  D   A  E
(these are each strummed once)       A D A E

     A                  F#m
   A                      D
I said, he ain't here, but he sure went past
A                     E      A   D  A  E
A             F#m
Sattamassagana for Jimmy Dread
A                        D
Cut off his ears and chop off his head
A                     E      A   D   A  E
A                                F#m
So if you're gonna take a message 'cross the town
A                          D
Maybe put it down somewhere over the other side
A             E      A  D  A  E
A                    F#m
Don't you bother me, not anymore
A                     D
I can't take this tale, oh, no more
A              E       A   D  A  E
A       F#m A       D
J-a-zee zee J-a-zed zed
A        E          A   D  A  E
            A
And then it sucks, he said, suck that
A         F#m          A
So go look all around, you can try your luck, brother
D
And see what you found
      A            E              A        D    A
But I guarantee you it ain't your day your day, it ain't
E
your day.
A
Chop Chop!

There's another riff played after the solo, but it's pretty much the same
