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.
So tell me a-when price tag gone 'pon ay nanny,
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?
