Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley - Slave Mill
Transcribed By Jesse Drysdale.
(Feel free to help me out here, It's my first Tab and the other version just doesn't sound right to me)
STRUMMING:
I've found it helps playing basic bar chord versions of the chords and focusing on strumming the High E, B, G
and D chords.
For the Chorus: I use a broken strum of Down Up, Down, (Chord change) Up. - In my head I strum: 1, 3, 4, 5,(8)
For the Verse: I use Down Up, Down Down Up, Down Up. Down Up, Down Down Up, Down Up (Chord Change + Repeat)
ENJOY :)

[Chorus]
DmWhat you won't and wChat you will
DmWorking for yourC dollar bill
DmSad to see the oCld slave mill
GmIs grinding slow, butF grinding still
DmWalking home, a chCild gets killed
DmPolice free to shCoot at will
DmSad to see the oCld slave mill
GmIs grinding slow, butF grinding still
DmNine to five you knCow the drill
DmWeekends are a shCort lived thrill
DmSad to see the oCld slave mill
GmIs grinding slow, butF grinding still
DmCup runneth over tiCll it spill
DmTake until they've hCad their fill
DmSad to see the old slCave mill
GmIs grinding slow, butF grinding still
[Verse 1]
GmSome of us think we're too big
Gm'Cause the system gives us jobs
DmEven though it's just a low paying gig
DmSome of us will boast and brag
GmAnd those of us who think we're small
GmJust because we don't have much
DmThat's really not the case at all
DmThere's riches that the flesh can't touch
GmSome of us won't respect names
GmSome of us won't respect loves
DmSome of us don't respect life
DmEven though we worship God
GmAnd some of us won't let go faith
GmNo matter what the price may cost
ASome of us won't practice hate
ABecause we still believe in love
[Chorus]
DmWhat you won't and wChat you will
DmWorking for a dolClar bill
DmSad to see the old slCave mill
GmIs grinding slow, butF grinding still
DmWalking home, a chCild gets killed
DmNeighbors free to shCoot at will
DmHurt' to see the oCld slave mill
GmIs grinding slow, butF grinding still
DmNine to five, we knCow the drill
DmWeekends are such a shCort-lived thrill
DmSad to see the old slCave mill
GmIs grinding slow, butF grinding still
DmCup runneth over tCill it spill
DmTake until they've hCad their fill
DmSad to see the oCld slave mill
GmIs grinding slow, butF grinding still
[Verse 2]
GmMost of us think we're too good
GmJust because material gain
DmIf we were living as we should
DmThen less of us would be in pain
GmThose who are misunderstood
GmStill deserve a voice to claim
DmThe things that are still meaningful
DmTo each and all of us the same
GmAnd some will say the cups are full
GmAnd give Jah thanks to what we've gained
DmAnd some will say there's much more weight to pull
DmAnd them will tell you that straight up and plain
GmAnd some will think outside the box
GmWhile some of us will hold our lanes
AAnd some of us we write the facts
AWhile some of us a chop down cane
[Chorus]
DmWhat men won't and wChat they will
DmWorking for a dolClar bill
DmSad to see the oCld slave mill
GmIs grinding slow, butF grinding still
DmWalking home, a chCild gets killed
DmPolice free to shCoot at will
DmHurts to see the oCld slave mill
GmIs grinding slow, butF grinding still
DmNine to five you Cknow the drill
DmWeekends are a shCort-lived thrill
DmSad' to see the oCld slave mill
GmIs grinding slow butF grinding still
DmCup runneth over tCill it spill
DmTake until they've hCad their fill
DmSad to see the olCd slave mill
GmIs grinding slow, butF grinding still
[Outro]
