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
Continues after the ad
   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                                
So if you're gonna take a message 
F#m
'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              
But I guarantee you it ain't your 
A        D    A
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
