Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]This[D] is a sy[Em]stem
of [D]blatant hypocrisy
[Em]Now, now, now[D]
[Em]But I will listen to the words o[D]f
His
[Em]Majesty[D]
[Em]They don't know how [D]sweet it will [Em]be
To see the [D]hungry man fed
and the [Em]captives free
So [D]nice it will [Em]be
To see the [D]end of apartheid
an[Em]d bigotry
How [D]sweet it will [Em]be to see a sy[D]stem
that want to en[Em]slave you
The other [D]day I was standing
on the [Em]corner
Talking to a [D]brother who just
recently come [Em]on
Little after [D]that police curve to the [Em]area
Saying that he's [D]searching
for a wanted man [Em]bounty
But they [D]don't know this man
[Em]This man is a
[D]Rasta [Em]man
Travelling through
[D]Babylon
[Em]An d
Jai is my [D]champion
[Bm]They [Em]don't know
[D]how sweet it will [Em]be
To see the hungry [D]man fed
and the [Em]captives free
So [D]nice it will [Em]be
To see the end [D]of apartheid
an[Em]d bigotry
[D]How sweet it will [Em]be
To see a system [D]that want
to en[Em]d slavery
How [D]good and how nice it [Em]would be
To see the [D]world in peace an[Em]d harmony
How [D]special and safe it [Em]would be
To see my people [D]live in love an[Em]d unity
No more [D]shooting your brothers in the [Em]street
A land divided [D]must get defeat
[Em]And the seed[D] that you sow you will[Em] reap
You will [D]burn in fire, you [Em]will counterfeit
How [D]sweet it would [Em]be
To see the hungry [D]man fed
and the [Em]captive free
So [D]nice it will [Em]be,
to see the [D]end of apartheid [Em]and [D]bigotry[Em][D][Em]
For be[D]hold how good and how pleasant [Em]it is,
for man [D]and man to dwell together in unity [Em]and l[D]ove
[Em]Love from
Jah [D]above, [Bm]to ma[Em]ke the world a
bet[D]ter [Bm]place[Em][D][Em]
When every [D]man is living the
Cre[Em]ator's plan
When the lion [D]and the bear share
the [Em]fold with the lambs
When [D]the world stands faithful to the
[Em]Father
Then our [D]problems in life is [Em]all over
This man [D]is a righteous man
[Em]Living down [D]in
Babylon
[Bm]And[Em]
Jai is [D]my champion
[Em]Liv ing in a[D]ll sight and e[Em]ye
How [D]sweet it will [Em]be,
