I am a natty Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Bm]A big question posed to
me daily on the street
Many want to know the reason
why I am a Rasta man

[Verse 2]
Many people [Bm]see I,
many people ask I why am I a Rasta man?
Many people see I,
many people ask why am I a Rasta man?
But It is because of the
Babylon and the situation
It's because of the Babylon
and the situation

[Verse 3]
When I was a [Bm]boy about eight years old
There was a certain Rasta man
And he love all the children
And he treated us like a man
Even the little children that no one cares for
He called up everyone
And he gave us fruit and treated
[C]everyone with [Bm]a special love

[Verse 4]
Many people [Bm]see I,
many people ask I why am I a Rasta man?
But he taught I the love,
to give to [C]every[Bm]one
Many people see I,
many people ask I why am I a Rasta man?
There is no better way to express
my love to each and every one

[Verse 5]
One [Bm]Saturday morning
A special thing [C]happene
[Bm]d to this man
Here come Mr Babylon
He take away the Rasta man
To the root of him herb and
the meat of him fruit
[C]And t[Bm]hrow it in a van
And straight up brother for a trillion years
I never see the Rasta man

[Verse 6]
They took him to [Bm]general penitentiary
And then send him back [C]as a [Bm]valid man
But that could not change him
his mind was not in prison
Was only his body man

[Verse 7]
Many people [Bm]see I,
many people ask I why am I a Rasta man?
No matter what the battle be I
still have Jah in my hand
Many people see I,
many people ask I why [C]am I a [Bm]Rasta man?
How sweet the name of Jah Jah sound
to [C]every [Bm]righteous Rasta man

[Verse 8]
[Bm]And the same old Rasta man
Told me pounds, shillings and things
Would come out of circulation
And we would [C]use [Bm]a true bird, man
And I have seen, seven years after that
It was no use man
Donkey, horses and cross
keeper
Trodding upon he a penny man

[Verse 9]
Everyone [Bm]see I,
everyone ask I why am I a Rasta man?
I'm here to prove and to testify
about prophecy
Everyone who see I,
everyone ask I why am I a Rasta man?
John the Baptist, Marcus Garvey and Christ,
they was a Rasta man

[Verse 10]
Everyone [Bm]see I,
everyone ask I why am I a Rasta man?
I vowed the vow of a Nazarite and I
can't be no otherwise man
Everyone see I,
everyone ask I why am I a Rasta man?
I love my brothers and I sisters and

[Verse 11]
I can not give up a tall man
[Bm]Brother Brown, brother Chris,
brother John, brothers stand up man
I use to hear them beat the
drum and sing
We're in the forest land

[Verse 12]
[Bm]Everyone see I,
everyone ask I why am I a Rasta man?
I love the beat of the Nyahbinghi that
call the creation
Everyone see I,
everyone ask I why am I a Rasta man?
The truth is on affair, it's not a sin
You put a smile like a [Bm]pill
