One Love (People Get Ready)

Words & Music:

Bob Marley

This is fully transcribed in the "R.I.P." issue of Guitar Legends. Marley played it in Bb. Gunther Anderson's arrangement in A, capo 1 works for me. As with all of Marley's tunes, keep the guitar reggae rhythm steady and the vocals free.

INTRO: [capo 1] A E D A E A

CHORUS:

A E D A E A

One love, one heart. Let's get together and feel all right.

A

Hear the children crying - One love

E

Hear the children crying - One heart

D A E A

Sayin', "Give thanks and praise to the Lord & I will feel all right."

D A E A

Sayin', "Let's get together and feel all right" Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

A F#m D A

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks - One love.

D F#m D E A

There is one question I'd really love to ask - One heart.

A F#m D A

Is there a place for the hopeless sinner

A F#m E A

Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?

CHORUS: [new words]

One love - What about the one heart?

One heart - What about the Lord?

Let's get together and feel all right.

As it was in the beginning - One love.

So shall it be in the end - One heart.

All right, give thanks and praise to the Lord.

And I will feel all right; let's get together and feel all right.

One more thing:

Let's get together to fight this holy Armageddon - One love.

So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom - One song.

Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner.

There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation.

CHORUS: [new words]

Sayin', one love - What about the one heart

One heart - What about the

Let's get together and feel all right

I'm pleading to mankind - One love

Oh, Lord - One heart

Whoa, give thanks and praise to the Lord

And I will feel all right

Let's get together and feel all right

Give thanks and praise to the Lord

And I will feel all right

Let's get together and feel all right
