[Verse]
E
Jah! Rastafari...
         Am
And I saw an I-ngel ascended from the East
                 F                 E
Having the seal of the living King, Emperor Haile Selassie I the first

The Most High
                                      Am
And He cried out with a loud voice, sayin'

Oh oh...


[Chorus]
Am
It's a raggy road

The road is so rough
            Dm
A raggy road

The road is so tough
            Am
A raggy road

Road is so rough
          Dm
Raggy road


[Post-Chorus]

Yeah, yeah, yeah
                Am
Well, I've been troddin' this road for the longest while
                           Dm
And mi career nuff of dem want fi soil

Hey, hey
               Am
Troddin' this road for the longest while
                  Em                        Am
And never yet try pop off all another man's coil

Troddin' this road for the longest while
             Em                                Am
A long time, David house, and dem no stop till the soil
     Dm
Troddin' this road for the longest while
              Am
And give away more than 1/10th of the spoil
                  Dm
Troddin' this road for the longest while
                         Am
And still my lamp never run out of oil


[Verse 1]

This yah one yah a fi real
   Dm
Go tell dem anuh bargain, tell dem anuh deal
Am
Nuff of dem no want put dem shoulder to the wheel
                                Em
So dem go rape, dem go rob, and dem go kill, and steal
Am
All a try eat all a another man's meal
                      Em
Unuh deaf, unuh dumb, unuh blind fi go feel
Am
One man was worthy to open the seal
                  Em E
Emperor Selassie I, I know He's real
Em      Am
Babylon get trampled under mi heel!


[Chorus]
Am
Raggy road

Raggy road


[Post-Chorus]
Am

                       Dm

Hey, hey
                 Dm
Troddin' this road for the longest while
                     Am
And never yet try pop off all another man's coil
Dm
Troddin' this road for the longest while
                          Am
A long time, the Prophet, and him no stop till the soil
                                   E
Troddin' this road for the longest while
              Am
And give away more than 1/10th of the spoil
                                   Em
Troddin' this road for the longest while
E                           Am
And still my lamp never run out of oil


[Verse 2]
Am
Well, nuff of dem go get throw overboard
E                 Em       Am
Like Henry Morgan with the pirate code
Am
Nuff of dem a trod upon corruption road
E       E7                 Am
Nuff of dem a trod with Satan heavy load

True dem promote death, dem dead fi wreath and rose
Em         E7         E
The Binghi man no model, Binghi man no pose

Binghi man nah wear up dem Babylon clothes
E   E7                Am
Inna mi turban and mi ancient robe!
Am
Wha' dem a conceal, we come fi expose
E                        Am
The righteous works nuff try oppose

I see judgement a take dem evil episode
Em     E               Am
Judgement take dem and then dem explode


[Chorus]
Am
Well, it is a raggy road
            E
The road is so rough
          Am
Raggy road

Road is so rough
          Am
Raggy road
Am
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Am
Well, it is a raggy road
              E
Immanuel road so rough
          Am

Selassie I road so rough
          Am
Raggy road€

          Am
Raggy road
