Tokoloshe Man Lyrics

30th June 2013
CAPO: 3rd fret (Sounds in key of C)
Emphasise all bass notes
Make your bed up high, pray in - to the sky,
Close the window, close the door,
Makes no difference if you're rich, or...poor----!
| /__/ /__/ /__/ /__/ |
Get on your knees, scre - am, please, that man just love to tease----,
Try to run----, get a gun,
He just laughs, it makes it...more fun! | /__/ /__/ /__/ /__/ |
And it makes no dif - ference, if you're yellow, or you're red,
When that bad man say, "Tonight is the night!",
You are dead! | /__/ /__/ /__/ /__/ |
And it makes no dif - ference, if you're black, or you're white,
When Tokolosh' say, "Tonight is the night",
It's to - night!! | /__/ /__/ /__/ /__/ |
(Scrub rhythm)
Hard like rock, ain't got no soul, he can make the sun feel cold,
Put an eclipse on the moon, make a little cloud,
For - ty day mon - soon! | /__/ /__/ /__/ /__/ |
Don't recog - nise no hawk, don't recog - nise no dove, bad Toko - loshe Man
He don't even re - cognise...love! | /__/ /__/ /__/ /__/ |
And it makes no dif - ference, if you're yellow, or you're red,
When that bad man say, "Tonight is the night!",
You are dead! | /__/ /__/ /__/ /__/ |
And it makes no dif - ference, if you're black, or you're white,
When Tokolosh' say, "Tonight is the night",
It's to - night!! | /__/ /__/ /__/ /__/ |
(Scrub rhythm)
Ah---,ah, ah - ah! Ah---,ah, ah - ah! Ah---,ah, ah - ah!
Ah---,ah, ah - ah! | /__/ /__/ /__/ /__/ |
Only thing I can say to you, you gotta be good, you gotta be true,
Think a - bout Jesus Christ,
Think a - bout Je----sus Christ! | /__/ /__/ /__/ /__/ |
And it makes no dif - ference, if you're yellow, or you're red,
When that bad man say, "Tonight is the night!",
You are dead! | /__/ /__/ /__/ /__/ |
And it makes no dif - ference, if you're black, or you're white,
When Tokolosh' say, "Tonight is the night",
It's to - night!! | /__/ /__/ /__/ /__/ |
"To - night is the night",
It's to - night!! | /__/ /__/ /__/ /__/ |
"To - night is the night",
It's to - night!! | /__/ /__/ /__/ /__/ |
"To - night is the night",
It's to - night!! | /__/ /__/ /__/ /__/ |
Ah-----, ah-----, ah-----, ah!
It's to - night!! | /__/ /__/ /__/ /__/ |
Ah-----, ah-----, ah-----, ah!
