Great man, many great songs, and many of those songs are far beyond my present abilities... but happily not this one.
Please excuse the shortcuts I took.
Natural Mystic
by Bob Marley
Intro: Am7 until you have a good riddim going... (2 finger chord, from low E string up: xo2o1o)
(Dm) There's a nat'ral mystic (G) blowing through the (Am7) air
REPEAT
(Dm) This could be the first (Am) trumpet...
(Dm) Might well be the (Am7) last.
(Dm) How many more will have to (Am) suffer?
(Dm) How many more will (G)have to (Am) die?
(Dm) Don't ask me (Am) why,
(Dm) Things are not the way (G)they used to (Am7) be.
(Dm) I can't tell no (Am7) lie.
And on to next round....
HAPPY STRUMMING!
What if the Hokey Pokey IS what it's really all about?

Again, this is a seriously easy song once you get your riddim going... here I'm doing a thumb bounce between the A and D strings to liven up the Am7 in the intro and the bridge ...
Do we not LOVE reggae or what? :roll:

Nice job stellabloo, I've been having a go at this for a while and I must say its an easy song. Well deserved at being on this data base.
Nicely done on youtube also :wink:
I mostly play electric so am able to play using wah, which really helps on most a Bob Marley's stuff. Also tend to use Barre chords for reggae as they can be muted, what with having no open strings to contend with.
Thanks for reminding us of another Bob Marley classic. Keep up the good work and nicely done on youtube once again.
Rod :wink:
Be excellent to each other & party on dudes!
