Bob Marley (February 6, 1945 – May 11, 1981), born Nesta Robert Marley which was later to be changed by passport officials to Robert Nesta Marley, was a Jamaican singer-songwriter, guitarist, and activist. He was the most widely known writer and performer of Reggae, and more specifically Roots Reggae. He is famous for popularising the genre outside of Jamaica and the Caribbean. Much of his music dealt with the struggles of the spiritually wealthy rasta and/or spiritually powerful Jah Rastafari.

[Chorus 1]
AmDmEm So much trouble in the world, AmDmEm So much trouble in the world.
[Verse 1]
AmDmEm Bless my eyes this morning, AmDmEm Jah sun is on the rise once again. AmDmEm The way earthly things are goin', AmDmEm Anything can happen.
AmFEm You see men sailing on their ego trips, AmFEm Blast off on their space ships. AmFEm Million miles from reality, AmFEm No care for you, no care for me.
[Chorus 2]
AmDmEm So much trouble in the world, AmDmEm So much trouble in the world. All you gotta do...
[Bridge]
Am Give a little, (give a little), Dm Take a little, (take a little), E7 Give a little, one more time... Am Yeah! (give a little), yeah! (take a little), AmE7 Ye-ah! (give a little), yeah!
[Break]
F9 So you think you've found the solution, But it's just another illusion. (So before you check out this tide), G9 Don't leave another cornerstone standing there behind.
[Verse 2]
AmDmEm We've got to face the day, AmDmEm Ooh-wee, come what may. AmDmEm We, the street people talkin', AmDmEm Yeah, we, the people strugglin'.
[Interlude]
AmDmEm (x2)
[Verse 3]
AmFEm Now they sitting on a time bomb, AmFEm Now I know the time has come. AmFEm What goes on up, is coming on down. AmFEm Goes around and comes around.
[Chorus 3]
AmDmEm So much trouble in the world, AmDmEm So much trouble in the world. AmDmEm So much trouble in the world.
Coda:
AmDmEm There is so much trouble, there is so much trouble. AmDmEm There is so much trouble, there is so much trouble. AmDmEm There is so much trouble in the world.
