My all-time favourite reggae song!! SWEET & DANDY (F. Hibbert) The Maytals, 1968 The number one song of the fourth Jamaican Festival contest, 1969. To be played moderatly fast with a reggae beat. Capo on the first fret Opening riff(solo guitar): F--------------------------------------------------------------------| C--------------------------------------------------------------------| G#-------------------------------------------------------------------| D#-------------------------------------------------------------------| Bb----0-3-6b-----0-3-5-----0-3-6b-----0-3-6---5---3--0---------------| F-------------------------------------------------------3--1---0-----| (Verse 1)
D(Eb)Etty in the room a cry Mama say she must wipG(F#)e her eye Papa say she no fi fooA(Bb)lish
Like she never been to school at all (Chorus)
It is no woDnder It's a perfect panGder While they were danDcing in that baAr room last niDght.
(Verse 2) Johnson in the room afret Uncle say he must hold up him head Aunty say she no fi foolish Like a no time fi him wedding day (Chorus) It is no wonder It's a perfect pander While they were dancing in that bar room last night. (Verse 3) One pound ten for the wedding cake Plenty bottle of cola wine All the people them dress up in a white Fi go eat out Johnson wedding cake (Chorus) It is no wonder It's a perfect pander While they were dancing in that bar room last night. (Repeat all once more and then end with...)
