Based in and from Dublin's North Inner City. The Original Rudeboys were formed in March 2011 when a unique realisation occurred between all three members. Offering a distinct and refreshing sound with a combination of acoustic guitar and ukulele blended with soulful and hip hop voices, The Original Rudeboys have created a new fusion of music whilst continuing to respect their different influences.
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!

This song isn't really a guitar song, its heavy on bass and ukulele but I found a basic chord structure for the song and also the lick that is played throughout the song during the:
Intro Verse Chorus
The only time the lick isn't used is during the Interlude.
another live show, a different city with places to go
C Imma keep on doing this, til the day that I die
Em In this life, that doesn't slow down
We all get lost just waiting to be found
Imma keep my head held, high to the sky
Em Feel the pressure to succeed,
I wasn't going anywhere til music found me
C Never gonna turn green, with envy and greed
Em I'm an old man, the rules are there to be written
Sometimes they push me down sometimes I feel like quitting,
but I'm never gonna give this up, cause this is my life
CHORUS
(1.16 - 1.35)
Em Cause I’m a travelling man,
C Where i lay my hats my home
D Don’t know where i am going
Am But Imma get there on my own..
Em A travelling man,
C Where i lay my hats my home
D Don’t know where i am going
Am But Imma get there on my own..
RAP VERSE
(1.36 - 2.15)
Em Well we've been chewed up and spit out
They say we’re doing something new now
Everybody wants to hear this travelling bands tunes out
From day one we were chasing the stars
C We didn't wanna be another band lazing in bars
Em We’re gazing at charts, hoping one day to be a part of it
Made a ton of progress we've only started yeah
We'd mad melodies, jamming on chairs
C Hasn't been since last march that we paid for some beers
Em Forward moving failures, ah sure were not choosing
Find us on the road at live shows or lay boozing
Straight cruising were ready to rock
C giving it all on the stage until we're ready to drop
Em n these labels said we were just too different
Dublin hip hop would never work there's something missing n
the accent is too deep its too strong, but now most of them are singing along
Chorus
(2.15 - 2.35)
Em Cause I’m a travelling man,
C Where i lay my hats my home
D Don’t know where i am going
Am But Imma get there on my own
Em A travelling man,
C Where i lay my hats my home
D Don’t know where i am going
Am But Imma get there on my own
INTERLUDE

I gotta get there on my own

I gotta get there on my own
