[Verse 1]
    Dm                            F
One day one woman asked him what do you to survive?

         C                              Gm
He said "oh my dear, listen here." and this is what I cry

       Dm                                  F
On my feet, I wear two shoes for dancing, dancing to be free.

    C                                   Gm
My feet they're paying tribute to the Bobby Marley Legacy

       Dm
and my knees they've got some cuts and bruises

       F
from a-skating all my days

           C
because a-when I'm skating with my friends

     Gm
my troubles drift away. I say

    Dm
my legs they're wearing baggy pants

          F
I like ta move around

                C
'Cause getting down and jumping up

                Gm
These are some good things that I've found
[Chorus]

        Gm
that no institutions will knock round

     Dm

       Dm
and my mouth it's got a great big smile

     F
that shows some great big teeth,

   C
to friends it brings happiness

        Gm
and to enemies it brings defeat.

       Dm
and my eyes have got some vision

         F
they can see through many lies

      C
oh my eyes they look for better things,

    Gm
the better things to see in life

       Dm
and my ears are wearing headphones

            F
they're to play my favourite songs;

     C
and not music I'm told to like

        Gm
but the songs that make me dance along

       Dm
'cause on my feet are shoes for

          F
shoes for dancing, dancing to be free

oh my feet they're paying tribute to...

Gm
