Aswad ("Black" in Arabic) are a long-lasting British reggae group, noted for adding strong R&B, soul, and soca influences to the reggae sound. They have been performing since the early 1970s, and have released a total of twenty-one albums.
As naturalised children of immigrants from the Caribbean, part of the aftermath of World War II, the children were moved to London. They attended a local high school near Ladbroke Grove, and various junior schools as Tan Tan children of immigrants from the Caribbean around West London in 1975.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Here's the chords to Aswad's version of So Lonely, by The Police. Available on the Police reggae tribute album 'Reggatta Mondatta'. Pretty much the same as the Police version, but in a different key, slower and more Reggae'd!
FCDmBb Well someone told me yesterday FCDmBb That when you throw your love away FCDmBb You act as if you just don't care FCDmBb You look as if you're going somewhere FCDmBb But I just can't convince myself FCDmBb I couldnt live with no one else FCDmBb And I can only play that part FCDmBb And sit and nurse my broken heart
FCDmBb So lonely, so lonely, so lonely, so lonely FCDmBb So lonely, so lonely, so lonely FCDmBb So lonely, so lonely, so lonely FCDmBb So lonely, so lonely
Know no one's knocked upon my door For a thousand years or more All made up and no where to go Welcome to this one man show Just take a seat they're always free No surprise no mystery In this theatre that I call my soul I always play the starring role
