(A F#m D E)
Dready got a job to do
And he's got to fulfill that mission
To see his hurt is their
Greatest ambition
But we will survive
In this world of competition
'Cause no matter what they do
Natty keep on coming thru
And no matter what they say
Natty de deh every day
(A F#m D E)
Natty dread rides again
Thru the mystics of tomorrow
Natty dread rides again
Having no fear, having no sorrow
A E A
All and all you can see a gwan
A E A
Is to fight against the Rastaman
A E A
So they build their world
In great confusion
A F#m
To force us in the devil's illusion
A E A
But the stone that the builder refuse
A E A
Shall be the head cornerstone
A E A
And no matter what games they play
A F#m
There is something they could
Never take away
A F#m
Something they could never take away
F#m F#m
And it's the fire, it's the fire, fire
D A
Burning down everything
F#m F#m
Feel the fire, fire, the fire, the fire
D A
Only the birds have wings
A D A
No time to be deceived
A D A
You should know and not believe
A D
Jah says this judgment
F#m
Could never be with water
D F#m
So no water could put out this fire
This this fire, this this fire
(them repeat from start)
This this fire Ride Natty Ride
Go deh Dready, go deh Dready, go deh
Now the fire is burning
Out of control panic in the city
Wicked weeping for their gold
Everywhere the fire is burning
Destroying and melting their gold
Destroying and wasting their souls
Ride Natty Ride
Go deh Dready, go deh Dready
Go deh Dready, go deh
Now the people gather on the beach
And the leader try to make a speech
But dread again tell them it's too late
Fire is burning
Man pull your own weight
Fire is burning
Man pull your own weight
Natty dread rides again
Go deh Dready, go deh Dready go deh
Oh Ride Natty Ride
Natty dread rides again
Go deh Dready, go deh, go deh Dready go deh
Riding thru the storm
And we're riding thru the calm
Go deh, go deh
We riding thru the thick
We riding thru the thin
Ride Natty, Ride Natty
