...PIMPER'S PARADISE... by Bob Marley
-----------------------..............

*from 'Uprising' (1980)*

[Intro]

C, G

[Verse 1]

Fmaj7 G
She love to party, have a good time,
Fmaj7 G
She looks so hearty, feeling fine.
Fmaj7 G
She loves to smoke, sometime shifting coke,
Fmaj7 Em
She'll be laughing when there ain't no joke.

[Chorus 1]

Fmaj7 G
A pimper's paradise; that's all she was now,
Fmaj7 Em
A pimper's paradise; that's all she was.
Fmaj7 G
A pimper's paradise; that's all she was now,
Fmaj7 Em
A pimper's paradise; that's all she was.

[Bridge 1]

C G Am F
Every need, got an ego to feed,
C G Am F
Every need, got an ego to feed.

[Verse 2]

Fmaj7 G
She loves to model up, in the latest fashion,
Fmaj7 G
She's in the scramble and she moves with passion.
Fmaj7 G
She's getting high; trying to fly the sky,
Fmaj7 Em
Now she is bluesing when there ain't no blues.

[Chorus 2]

Fmaj7 G
A pimper's paradise; that's all she was now,
Fmaj7 Em
A pimper's paradise; that's all she was.
Fmaj7 G
A pimper's paradise; that's all she was now,
Fmaj7 Em
A pimper's paradise; that's all she was.

[Bridge 2]

C G Am F
Every need, got an ego to feed,
C G Am F
Every need, got an ego to feed.

[Chorus 3]

Fmaj7 G
A pimper's paradise; that's all she was now,
Fmaj7 Em
A pimper's paradise; that's all she was.
Fmaj7 G
A pimper's paradise; I'm sorry for the victim now,
Fmaj7
Soon their heads, soon their heads,
Em
Soon their, soon their very heads will bow.
Fmaj7
Pimper's paradise; don't lose track,
G
Don't lose track of yourself, oh no!
Fmaj7
Pimper's paradise; don't be just a-stuck,
Em
A-stuck on the shelf, stuck on the shelf,
Fmaj7 G
Pimper's paradise; that's all she was now.
Fmaj7 Em
A pimper's paradise; be careful, be careful...
