[Intro]
A  Bm  Dm A

[Verse 1]
               A
Chillin' in the basement
               Bm
jammin to Bob Marley
                 Dm
hangin' out with Farley
             A      
on a summer night
                 A 
drummer hit the pavement
                     Bm
lookin' for the gold medal
                       Dm
all he got were flower pedals
         A
and a lousy bunch

[Chorus]
Dm                 A
   and I know someday
           Dm   A
that I will, be runnin' for my life
Dm                     
    and when that day comes
Bm
I hope that I
              Dm
will learn to fly

[Verse 2]
A
I know that we can do this
                   Bm
I know that we can groove this
        Dm
oh this reggae music
               A
from this lousy home 
A
I know that we can do this
                  Bm
I know that we can groove this
         Dm
oh this reggae music
                   A
ya better get some while you can.

[Chorus]
Dm                 A
   and I know someday
           Dm   A
that I will, be runnin' for my life
Dm                     
    and when that day comes
Bm
I hope that I
              Dm
will learn to fly


[Bridge]
A  Bm  Dm A

[Chorus]
Dm                 A
   and I know someday
           Dm   A
that I will, be runnin' for my life
Dm                     
    and when that day comes
Bm
I hope that I
              Dm
will learn to fly
A
