SONG : Aint No Prophet
ARTIST : SUBLIME
CD : PURE ANUS
transcribed by Jeff Wolf

This is an easy song that sounds great on an acoustic guitar.
I dont have all the lyrics though. Let me know if anyone has them.

All chords are open chords.

Verse: D  C  G  D

example:


D           C                   G                D
 I Aint no Prophet, dont wanna cure no damn disease.


D                    C         G           D
 Would ya marry me anyways if I was on my knees.




-- the pace quickens up with the same chords when he breaks into
the following verse:


D                   C              G           D
 So I thought to myself, Im gonna marry into wealth.


D                                C          G             D
 Im gonna take everything she's got oh and keep it for myself.



Then the chorus is just : C G C G C G D
example:


C           G        C             G    
She said to me, I dont like what I see


C         G    D
I said to her, I dont even know your name.

A(577655)   high E(779997)  B(799877)  high D(557775)  high F(881010108)

i am too lazy to figure out the beginning:)
[A]Stolen, from an African land, chased out with a knife, with a
[D]face like Bob Marley and some [A]mouth like a motorbike
Oh well, the [E]bars are always [F]open, and the [A]time is always right
and if God's [E]good word goes un[F]spoken, the [A] music goes all night.
   and it goes...
[A]if i were Bob Marley i'd say "could you be loved"
and if i was half pint? i'd put my lord up above(words may be wrong here)
and if i was [D]that Mike Tyson i would look for a fight
and if i was [A]a home town rat i'd be staying up all night
if i was the [E]King Adrock i would get [F]stupid dumb
[A]i know i know...[E] [F] [B]

[A]if i had a shotgun, you know what i'd do, i'd straight
[D]point that shit up at the sky and shoot [A]heaven on down for you because...
[E]the bars are always [F]open
[A]and the time is always right, and if the
[E]good word goes [F]unspoken, the [A]music goes all night
and it goes [A]i wanna lover but i can't find the time bada bye bye,
i want some reason but i can't find the rhyme, and
i [D]wanna start some static but i can't afford
[A]just get off the ground like i fall off my skateboard (check words here also)
[E]ah now a days it's [F]clear as you please
[A]i know [E] [F] [B]
*must listen for rythmn

You're a fool, don't fuck around with my dog

***** (Just continue with A5 and G5, I think I have given you enough.) *****

All that I can see I steal, I fill up my garage. Cause in my mind

Music from Jamaica, all the love that I found

Pull over there's a reason why my soul's unsound.  It's you

It's that shit stuck under my shoe. It's that smell inside the van

It's my bed sheet covered with sand.  Sitting through a shitty band

Getting dog shit on my handsGetting hassled by the manWaking up to an alarm

Sticking needles in your arm.  Picking up trash on a freeway

Feeling depressed everydayLeaving without making a sound

Picking my dog at the poundLiving in a tweeker padGetting yelled at by my dad

Saying I'm happy when I'm notFinding roaches in the potAll these things I do

They're waiting for you.

VERSE :
Clean Tone

* all E's are high E's - base note is 7th fret, A string
* chords are played very staccato, only fret the chord just before you're about to strum it, then release and mute, just
 as you finish strumming it, to get that organ-like sound.
