That's basically how the whole song is played. Just get the lyrics, listen to the song
play the parts accordingly. Verses are played the same way. The bridge has a few keyboard
thrown in second time it's played in the song. A augmentedA really cool song by Bob and the Wailers
one of the best reggae songs of all time in my opinion. Dedicated to the B.o.B: Fiji
