Yami Bolo - Still Searchin’

[Intro]

Ebm9 Ebdim7
Some gal, in a twinkling of an eye,
Bbm
Dem a-ready fi come pull down me Karl Ka-ni.
Oh, come on now, tell me; how can I,
Love a one dat really don’t deserve me?

[Verse 1]

Ebm9
Na try fi keep and na try preserve me,
Ebdim7
Me’s a boy could get whole heep a girl, ya heard me.
Bbm
Many are called but only few dem worthy;
Body have to physically strong and sturdy.
Ebm9
Spiritually balanced fi clean and purge me,
Ebdim7
Mentally advanced fi always urge me.
Bbm
Read a couple books and challenge the clergy,
Read a couple psalms up in the morning, early.

[Bridge 1]

Ebm9
Could you be so kind? Then show me a sign;
Ebdim7
I’ve been searchin’ and it’s so hard to find.
Bbm
Decent values with a decent wine,
Decent jubee running it down the line.
Ebm9
May-be it’s my mind? Maybe I’m blind?
Ebdim7
Maybe it’s the way that I’ve been spending my time?
Bbm
I’m still searching for a fine peace of mind,
Decent jubee running it down the line.

[Chorus 1]

Ebm9 Ebdim7 Bbm
A little child has grown, and he’s got love on his mind.
Ebm9 Ebdim7 Bbm
But what he’ll never know; a virtuous woman is hard to find.

Ebm9 Ebdim7 Bbm
And dat’s when she said she feels the pain.
Ebm9 Ebdim7 Bbm
And she’ll never fall in love a-gain.

[Verse 2]

Ebm9
So if you is a gal with whole heep of value,
Ebdim7
What a valuable nice and decent gal, you.
Bbm
When I get you I’ll be glad I got you,
Then stand firmly in-a your life, like statue.

Ebm9
Seen some old tings, seen some young tings,
Ebdim7
Seen some little silly go and come tings.
Bbm
Seen some one night just for fun tings;
What an indecent piece of someting.

[Bridge 2]

Ebm9
Be so kind? Then show me a sign;
Ebdim7
I’ve been searchin’ and it’s so hard to find.
Bbm
Decent values with a decent wine,
Decent jubee running it down the line.
Ebm9
May-be it’s my mind? Maybe I’m blind?
Ebdim7
Maybe it’s the way that I’ve been spending my time?
Bbm
I’m still searching for a fine peace of mind,
Decent jubee running it down the line.

[Chorus 2]

Ebm9 Ebdim7 Bbm
Some say that love is blind, but he keep saying “not this time”.
Ebm9 Ebdim7 Bbm
So all we need is love, to keep his heart in line.

Ebm9 Ebdim7 Bbm
But that’s when she said, “Lord, I feel the pain”.
Ebm9 Ebdim7 Bbm
And she’ll never fall in love a-gain.

[Verse 3]

Ebm9
You have some gyal a-come ‘pon man premises,
Ebdim7
And a-fling up dat ting that’s between di knees.
Bbm
And a-fill up man head with false promises.
(n.c)
Oh, dutty bungle, please.
Ebm9
Couldn’t want to run that so fast with ease;
Ebdim7 Bbm
Been there done that; my main squeeze is natural, simply natural.

[Bridge 3]

Ebm9
Could you be so kind? Then show me a sign;
Ebdim7
I’ve been searchin’ and it’s so hard to find.
Bbm
Decent values with a decent wine,
Decent jubee running it down the line.
Ebm9
May-be it’s my mind? Maybe I’m blind?
Ebdim7
Maybe it’s the way that I’ve been spending my time?
Bbm
I’m still searching for a fine peace of mind,
Decent jubee running it down the line.

[Chorus 3]

Ebm9 Ebdim7 Bbm
A little child has grown, and he’s got love on his mind.
Ebm9 Ebdim7 Bbm
But what he’ll never know; a virtuous woman is hard to find.

Ebm9 Ebdim7 Bbm
‘Cos that’s when she said, she’s feeling pain.
Ebm9 Ebdim7 Bbm
It seems they have fallen in love a-gain.

Ebm9 Ebdim7 Bbm
That’s when she said, “Lord, I feel the pain”.
Ebm9 Ebdim7 Bbm
And now they’re standing in love a-gain.

N.C.

Gyal a-love man for Benz and Ferrari.
Little one eyed brethren weh name Omari,
Couldn’t get no loving since him sell Stary.

Ebm9 Ebdim7
Some gal, in a twinkling of an eye,
Bbm
Dem a-ready fi come pull down me Karl Ka-ni.
Oh, come on now, tell me; how can I,
Love a one dat really don’t deserve me?
