Shaggy and Sting- One lifetime
[Intro]
Bm F#m E E7
[Verse 1]
Bm
The time has come, the world has said,
F#m
To talk of many things,
E
Of ships and shoes and sealing wax,
E7
Of cabbages and kings.
Bm
Life a the greatest gift given to humanity,
F#m
Surround yourself with a lot a positive energy,
E
Yuh caan buy it even if yuh have wull heap a money,
E7
A das why we spread love ina the community.
Bm
Yuh coulda be small man or a celebrity,
F#m
Yuh coulda live uptown or di ina city,
E
Wi need a world full peace and serenity,
E7
Sting come sing out fi everybody.
[Verse 2]
Bm
The time has come, as Shaggy said,
F#m
To talk of many things,
E
Of ships and shoes and sealing wax,
E7
Of cabbages and kings.
Bm
The planets tune in retrograde,
F#m
The moon seems to have fled,
E
The world is spinning upside down,
E7
And landed on its head.
[Chorus]
D F#m
Just one lifetime,
E E7
And there's only one, yes there's only one.
D F#m
Just one life to live,
E
Assuming that we'll make it,
E7
We've no choice but to take it.
[Verse 3]
Bm
I'm with you, the Walrus said,
F#m
We'll dress for heavy weather,
E
Whatever's on the road ahead,
E7
We're in this now together.
Bm
We thought we'd make a run for it,
F#m
Not knowing where we're headed,
E
We packed the car with both our bags,
E7
And filled her up unleaded.
[Chorus]
D F#m
Just one lifetime,
E E7
And there's only one, yes there's only one.
D F#m
Just one life to live,
E
Assuming that we'll make it,
E7
We've no choice but to take it.
[Verse 4]
Bm
Come Meck wi Teck a page out a di book of life,
F#m
Lego negativity and do what's right,
E
Wi no longer need fi a fuss or fight,
E7
Unite the world an show dem di right.
Bm
Dis generation a set a new trend,
F#m
Replace di word enemy wid friend,
E
Leaders a di world these rules can't bend,
E7
dis a di message wi send to dem.
Bm
The time had come, a reckoning,
F#m
We all knew it was coming,
E
We headed North on empty roads,
E7
The engine gently humming.
Bm
The Walrus smoked a cigarette,
F#m
He claimed it was his last,
E
No signs of life, no gas, no food,
E7
In all the empty towns we passed.
Bm
All we have is me and you,
F#m
It has to be enough,
E
I've got your back and you've got mine,
E7
If the going it gets rough.
[Chorus]
D F#m
Just one lifetime,
E E7
And there's only one, yes there's only one.
D F#m
Just one life to live,
E
Assuming that we'll make it,
E7
We've no choice but to take it.
Bm
The time has come, the Walrus said,
F#m
To talk of many things,
E
Of ships and shoes and sealing wax,
E7
Of cabbages and kings.
