This is my own interpretation of this song and is not intended to precisely duplicate the original artist's version. My version is replete with chord extensions and is, therefore, easy to manipulate and make your own. I hope you enjoy! Simple Reggae strumming (back-strum between beats - strum up once and then up-down on the next beat - repeat pattern until jam is done) e 9 9 2 2 4 4 2 5 5 3 B 10 10 3 3 5 5 3 2 3 2 G 9 12 2 5 4 7 4 2 2 2 D 11 11 4 4 6 6 4 2 2 2 A x x x x x x x x x x E x x x x x x x x x x A A7 D D7 E E7 Bm * A ** Asus4 ** A7 * Each chord in the body of the tab represents two beats...strum up where you see the note and up/down where you see the backslash. I have tried to line the vocals as well as I could. (chorus) A / A / A / A7 Don't worry about a thing / D / D7 / A / A7 cause every little thing gonna be alright. / A / A / A / A7 Singin' don't worry about a thing / D / D7 / A / A7 cause every little thing gonna be alright. (verse) / * A * / * Asus4 * / E / E7 Rise up this mornin' smiled with the rising sun / D / D / Bm / D7 three little birds perch by my doorstep / * A * / * A7 * / E / E7 singing sweet songs of melodies pure and true / D D7 E E7 A / A sayin' "this is my message to you". (chorus) (verse) (chorus) The final chorus is repeated until the song fades out with some minor improvised changes in the wording. For those anal retentive types, the word "with" is changed to "at" the second time the verse is sung. I hope you enjoy!
