Three Little Birds - Bob Marley
Here is a class arrangement of this reggae song. The chord sequence, riffs
and lyrics are given below. The two main features of reggae are a heavy
bass and chords played on the 2nd and 4th beats. Any combination of instruments
can play this arrangement. I use guitars, bass guitar, drum kit and keyboards.
Lyrics
Chorus : Don't worry
'bout a thing,
'cos ev'ry little thing gonna be alright,
singin' Don't worry
'bout a thing,
'cos ev'ry little thing gonna be alright,

Smiled with the risin' sun
Three little birds
Is on my doorstep
Singin' sweet song
The melody pure and cool, singin...
This is my message to you hoo hoo
