Badfish Chords

I transposed this song from the original for easier playability with use of a capo for
those who find it difficult to play full barre chords. For this acoustic version I play
using the intro strumming pattern for the entirety of the song. It gives it a fuller
sound especially when playing alone in contrast to traditional staccato style reggae
strumming which is ideal when playing in a full band.
 
Capo 2nd fret
 
 
[Intro]
G  Am  F  G
 
[Verse 1]
 G                        Am
When you grab a hold of me
F                            G
Tell me that I'll never be set free
G                  Am
Well, I'm a parasite
F                               G
Creep and crawl I step into the night
G            Am
Two pints of booze
F                         G
Tell me are you a bad fish too (are you a bad fish too yeah)
 
[Chorus]
C                     G
Ain't got no money to spend
C                     G
I hope the night will never end
C              G
Lord knows I'm weak
          C                       D
Won't somebody get me off of this reef
 
[Verse 2]
G                      Am
Baby you're a big blue whale
F                               G
Grab the reef when all duck diving fails
G                           Am
I'd swim but I wish I never learned
F                     G
Waters too polluted with germs
G                                  Am
I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead
F                       G
Grab the reef underneath my bed (underneath my bed yeah)
 
[Chorus]
C                           G
Ain't got no quarrels with God
C                         G
Ain't got no time to grow old
C              G
Lord knows I'm weak
          C                       D
Won't somebody get me off of this reef
 
[Bridge]
G  Am  F  G  x2
 
[Chorus]
C                          G
Ain't got no quarrels with God
C                         G
Ain't got no time to grow old
C               G
Lord knows I'm weak
          C                       D
Won't somebody get me off of this reef
