Liquor Store Blues Chords

The original song is played in C#m
It is easier to play transposed -4 and put a capo on 4th fret.
But for a good reggae feel I recommend these chords:
C#m:  446654
G#m:  466444
A:    577655
B:    799877
 
 
Damian (Junior Gong) Marley sings the intro, verses 3 and 4 and the outro.
Bruno Mars sings all the rest.
