...PASS IT ON... by Bob Marley ----------------.............. *from 'Burnin'' (1973)* Intro: Bb Cm7, F, Cm7 F7 Bb Verse 1:

What your ^Bbmaj7hands do; it's ^Ebyour own ^Dm7eyes that've ^Cm7seen, So won't you judge your actions, to make ^Cm7sure the re-^F7sults are ^Bbclean' It's your own ^Bbmaj7conscience, ^Ebthat is ^Dm7gonna re-^Cm7mind you, That it's your heart and nobody else's, ^Cm7that is ^F7gonna ^Bbjudge.

Chorus 1:

Be not ^Bbselfish, in your ^Ebdoings; Pass it ^Bbon, (pass it on, children). Help your ^Fbrothers, in their ^Ebneeds; pass it ^Gm7on. ^Cm7

Live for ^Bbyourself and you will live in ^Ebvain, Live for ^Fothers, and you'll live a-^Bbgain. In the ^Bbkingdom of Jah, man shall ^Ebreign.

Pass it ^Bbon, ^Eb pass it on. ^Bb Pass it on,^Eb pass it on.

Verse 2:

What's in the ^Bbmaj7darkness; ^Ebmust be re-^Dm7vealed to ^Cm7light. We're not here to judge what's good from bad, But to ^Cm7do the ^F7things that are ^Bbright. On a ^Bbmaj7hot, sunny day, ^Ebunder the ^Dm7shadows for ^Cm7rescue. But as the day grows old; I ^Cm7know the ^F7sun is gonna ^Bbfind you.

Chorus 2:

Be not ^Bbselfish, in your ^Ebdoings; Pass it ^Bbon, (pass it on, children). Help your ^Fbrothers, in their ^Ebneeds; pass it ^Gm7on. ^Cm7

Live for ^Bbyourself and you will live in ^Ebvain, Live for ^Fothers, and you'll live a-^Bbgain. In the ^Bbkingdom of Jah, man shall ^Ebreign.

Pass it ^Bbon, ^Eb pass it on. ^Bb Pass it on,^Eb pass it on.
