Playing in Jah's waterfall                         [Verse]

I don't care who call me, no                  C#m B E G#m

I'll never be one of dem who

Come and try to mix it up, mix it up

So them stand and say - We must protect our world today

While all of ya see the whole of Africa

And watch it turn into a desert               (F#m E   x4)

                                     [Bridge] (B  C#m x4)

(There was a gifted man - Never knew how to plan, yeah)

(For) the future of all creation

(So he became a soldier man who

 Shot I for no reason   - Dropped bombs in a foreign land

 Here on Earth, they've wasted away their lives

 Pitting I and I against one another)

                                            [Intro & Link]

Well, it seems they will answer            G#m G#m F#m F#m

To our son and daughter in this time       G#m G#m A   A

But for now, they say, oh God

Go away children, go away children, children go away


Playing in Jah's waterfall - One day it cease to fall, yes

We've cut down all the trees

And watched the anima-als die from diseases

I dropped down on my knees and pray - Ohh I Father, take I

Won't you save us as you saved Noah

Ham, Shem and Japhet                [Solo - Bridge] [Link]


Playing in Dunn's riverfall - I don't care who call me, no

For some of dem see the world, yeah - And try to escape it

Turning their back pon the land, yeah-eh   ╔═════════════╗

Watching the mountain turn into sand       ║  Waterfall  ║

But as long as my heart bea-eats on        ║ Groundation ║

I will fight to rebuild mount Zion         ╚═════════════╝

                                                  [Bridge]

(There was a holy land - Far beyond the ocean, yeah)

(Holding) (Only to vanish in a vi-ision, yeah

 Speaks of generation  - Destroying their ho-homeland

 I am crying on behalf of our children - The day

     must come when we will learn to live together) [Link]


(Playing in Jah's waterfall, (yeah/…) - ((That's all I

     (wanted/ever needed))/Oh God, forever) x1~2~1)
