[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][Em][A][D][B][Em]
[A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]If I
talk again it could [G]drive me mad
I try [D]to talk to the people of Trin[A]idad
[D]If I talk again it could set [G]me mad
I'm [D]tired if talkin' to the people [A]of Trinidad
[D]All kinds of people come and doi[A]n' well
And you the Trinidadians only
[D]catchin' hell
How many [B]times do you want to be [Em]told
Your own comes [A]first all over the [D]world
[A]If

[Verse 2]
[D]you think I lie, I invite [G]you please
[D]Just take a trip through
the West [A]Indies[D]
Make your first stop at [G]Grenada
[D]Tell them that you come to look for [A]labor
[D]If you miss and say you're
[A]from Trinidad
They lick you from Grenada
down to [D]Fyzabad
But [B]you can't blame them on a [Em]whole
My friend, [A]that's the policy of the [D]world
[A]So,

[Verse 3]
[D]Granadia[Em]ns[A]
for Granadians
[D]Jamaicians for Jamaicians
[B]Even Barbados take the same [Em]route
[A]Trinidadians, buck up and follow [D]suit
Well now you really lookin [G]for blows
If you [D]think you goin'
anchor in Bar[A]bados
[D]The Bajuns goin tell you [G]bloomin' fast
Don't [D]you know Bajuns first
and out[A]siders last
Then [D]you heist your anchor
to [A]Jamaica
Feelin' that your chances might [D]be better
But as [B]I've led you to under[Em]stand
Boy, we only have [A]work here for Jamaic[D]ans[A]

[Verse 4]
I'm not all selfish, [Em]I love to [G]give
And I be[F#m]lieve in [Bm]the slogan
live and [A]let [D]live
If the other islands aren't [Em]doin' that
Well [G]I don't s[F#m]ee why we [Bm]should
[G]be Miss Howard's [A]cat
It's [D]time to [Bm]go into the r[B]e ve[Em]rse
Do like other nations put your [A]people [D]first
[C]You must do as you are tol[Em]d
Or you would [Gm]be the laughing stock of th[A]e world
