  Sublime was an American reggae/punk/ska band from Long Beach, California, United States. A more detailed look at the band's stylistic influences reveals a mix of reggae and dub, ska, punk, progressive rock, acoustic rock, hip-hop, and dancehall. The band consisted of three members: Bradley Nowell (vocals and guitar), Bud Gaugh (drums), and Eric Wilson (bass guitar). The band achieved mainstream success with their self-titled third album, but Bradley died of a heroin overdose shortly before and the band broke up soon after.

Sublime était un groupe américain de Long Beach, en Californie. Il fut actif de 1988 à 1996.

Membres      * Bradley Nowell - chant, guitare     * Eric Wilson - basse     * Bud Gaugh - batterie  Historique

Boss Dj

D            G
Early in the morning
D             G
Rise up to the street
D               G
Light me up that cigarette 
D                     G
and I'll slap shoes on my feet
D             G
Got to find a reason 
D                    G
Reason because we're wrong
D              G
Got to find a reason 
D              G
why my money's all gone

D        G
I got a dalmation 
D           G

D                   G
Like a motherfuckin' riot

D
LIfe is too short 
G
So love the one you got

Never start static

Never had to battle with my 
G
bulletproof vest 

D
Take a small example 
G
Take a tip from me
D
Take all of your money
G
Give it up to charity

You'll feel it when
G
the dance get's hot

(carry on same strum/rhythm till the end of the song)

What I Got

C
Sleepin' by yourself at night can make you feel alone
your girlfriend said so, but I really don't know
Bb
that don't mean we fucked around
A
that night last week when you left town
Verse 2
C
Was tweakin' by myself one night that's when I wrote this tune
didn't have no need for that bed in my hotel room
Bb
uh-huh, sometimes right now since I've left the bend
A
feels like I'm right back there again

Chorus
F           G
sometimes I pray
F                         G
waiting, waiting for some bright holiday (holiday)
F                    G
So I bought myself a gun
F                                        G
and I'm right back, right back where I'm from


D
sleepin' by yourself at night can make you feel alone
D
my girfriend said so- she's a little ho
C
that don't mean I fuck around
B
I like to keep that higher ground
Chorus
F           G
sometimes I pray
F                         G
waiting, waiting for some bright holiday (holiday)

Right Back

# basicly A and G all the time. Sounds better when you change the rhythm.


A            G              A 
We took this trip to garden grove
              G                  A       G
It smelt like Lou Dog inside the van. Oh yeah
This ain't no funky reggae party, 5 dollars at the door
It gets so real sometimes, who wrote my rhyme?
I've got the microwave, got the vcr
I got the duece duece in the trunk of my car. Oh yeah
If you only knew all the love that I found
It's hard to keep my soul on the ground
You're a fool; don't fuck around with my dog
All that I can see I steal. I fill up my garage
'cuz in my mind, music from Jamaica all the love that I found
Pull over there's a reason why my soul's unsound

It's you, it's that shit stuck under my shoe
It's that smell inside the van.
It's my bed sheet covered with sand Sitting through a shitty band
Getting dog shit on my hands. Getting hassled by the man
Waking up to an alarm. Sticking needles in your arm
Picking up trash on the freeway. Feeling depressed every day
Leaving without making a sound. Pickin up my dog up at the pound
Livin in a tweeker pad. Gettin yelled at by my Dad
Saying I'm happy when I'm not. Finding roaches in the pot
Oh, all these things I do their waiting for you

5446/ball And Chain

A                                 A   
On the eastside, that's where I met my Ramona,

A

she said I love up the way you move, I love the way you rap, BAH BAH.

Ramona please step back
                A
'Cause she's my Ruca, I'm barely waiting for my hiena

A   A    A   A

                                  A
She moved from Long Beach down to LA
                                     A
Right now she selling oranges by the freeway
              A

And know now I waiting for my Ruca and I barely pulled up with my hiena

I know tonight I be behind her, don't fuck around with my hiena.

Waiting For My Ruca

E                                   B
As I was walking down rubadub square
      E                                     B
Not a chill to the weather but a nip to the air
A            E         A                    E  
From another direction she was caught in my eye
A              E         A                   E
It could be an illusion, but I might as well try
                B     B    B  B
..might as well try
E                                                  B
She had rings on her fingers and bells on her shoes
E                                              B
And I knew without asking she was into the blues
A                E        A               E
She wore scarlet begonias tucked into her curls
A            E            A              E     B   B   B   B
I knew right away she was not like other girls
F#       
Well I ain't never been right as I ain't never been wrong
   B                               A            E      E
As everything works out the way it does in this song
F# 
'Cause once in a while you get shown in the light
       B                          A          E      E
In the strangest of places if you look at it right

E
It was the summer of love and I thank the stars above
            B              A           E
Because the women took the lovin' over me
E
And just to gain her trust, I bought a microbus
          B           A        E
Because I sold off my personal property
  A                     E
A tight tie-dyed dress, she was a psychedelic mess
A                       E
We toured to the north, south, east and west
A
We sold some mushroom tea,
E
We sold some ecstasy,
A                            E
We sold nitrus, opium, acid, heroin and PCP
A                                  E
Now I hear the police coming after me
           A                            E
Yes, now I hear the police coming after me
A                        E
The one scarlet with the flowers in her hair,

She's got the police coming after me
E                                                   B
Well there ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves
E                                           B
All scarlet begonias and a touch of the blues
A                      E              A                  E
And there ain't nothin wrong with the love that's in her eyes
A                  E                A            E
I had to learn the hard way just to let her pass by.

Scarlet Begonias

Intro:
D  E

And I feel love, feel love. Love, love!

Chorus:
D              E
Jailhouse gets empty,
D         E
Rudy gets plenty,

The baton stick gets shorter,
D         E
Rudy gets taller.
D                       E
Can't fight against the youth,
            D
Cause we're strong.
                    E
Them are rude, rude people.

Can't fight against the youth,

Cause we're strong.

Them are rude, rude people.

Verse:
D
Now when I was a youth in 1983
           E
it was the best day of my life.
               D
We had the '89 vision

we didn't fuss and no fight,
     E
when all the little daughters wanna be my wife
       D
like a vision,
                     E
it was playin' on my guitar,

on my guitar,
            D
I had to be there,

I had to be there,
            E
I had to be there,

I had to be there.

On the freeway in the county, the sun don't shine

Outside my cell, deputies creep

and in this cell, all I do is sleep
and I dream that I'm free

Tell me that I'll never be set free
A                       Bm
But I'm a parasite
G                                 A

A                D

Baby, you're a big blue whale
Grab the reef when all duck divin' fails
I swim, but I wish I never learned
The water's too polluted with germs
I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead
Grab the reef from underneath my bed (underneath my bed)

Ain't got no quarrels with God
Ain't got no time to grow old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off this reef?
I got a gun

Ain't got no quarrels with God
Ain't got no time to get old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off this reef?

           B                  A
I gave her all that I had to give 
          B             A
but she still wouldn't take it oh no 
              B                        A
Her two brown eyes are leaking like a sieve 
         B                             D
and it still ruins her makeup I never wanted...

Verse 2 (same chord pattern as above C|--Bb)
Everyday I wake up just a little bit more feelin'
like a dog out on the yard because that's just how we are
Everyday I wonder if it's over when I wake up
realizin' that we hate and brake down the war
You say it's black, but I can't believe you 
And if you say it's white, you say I'm tryin to deceive you
and baby you're the winner of the high and the low,
and I'd be waiting for you in the
middle but I just lack control.

G                  Em
I'm spun, just like a raisin in the sun
     Am                           D
I'm fried up but the fun has just begun
       G                   Em
And I swear, with all the love inside my head
     Am                           D
I've gotta dish it out and gotta share
     C                        D                        C
But lately I've been walking this road, searching for an end
                          D
But I've finally figured out

G                  Em
Ban me from your company
          Am                                  D
And I'll meet you where the sunlight meets the gold
    G                       Em
Oh show me something I've never seen
       Am                          D
And I promise I'll be right there waiting

    G                      Em
I'm free, from all the judgment that you put on me
     Am                           D
And I know it grows and I know it dies inside
    G                      Em
I shake, and just so I can get a breath
         Am                                       D
Cause if they had it their way they'd push me to my death
C                        D                          C
Cause I've been walking this road, searching for an end
                         D
But I've finally figured out

G                    Em
Ban me from your company
          Am                                   D
And I'll meet you where the sunlight meets the road
    G                       Em
Oh show me something I've never seen
       Am                          D
And I promise I'll be right there waiting

C                               G   
And destroy what we've made this time
C                          G B  C
And watch it grow and die inside
G       B        C         G       B       C  
Oh, we'll watch it grow and we'll watch it die
C                                          
Oh, this time it's for real we'll watch it die
G    Em  Am              D
Ooh ...  ooh, and we'll watch it grow and die 
G    Em  Am              D
Ooh ...  ooh, and we'll watch it grow and die 
G    Em  Am              D

G 		         Em		     
The time has come to reach a new reali-
G				Em
zation 'tween me and you. 
G                 Em		
Time to clear the	rumors, sensations, and		
G				 Em  
things that just are not true. Well I
C                     Am
thought I heard you behind me, with a
C                     D
knife straight for my back. It's quite
C		   G				    Em
clear that I'm back in the swing of the living, although I
G				  Em
might not be on the right track. Oh
D 				       C              Bb       
thought I might drown but it's hard to keep a good man 
G                        Em             
down-town's where you'll find me, threw 
G              Em
some ill guy a hand. 
  G              Em             G              Em
Although I never listen girl, I damn well understand. And you
C                  Am
think, I'm so damn feeble. I
C                      D                 C        
can't see through you're lies, you're just a crock of 
G                   Em             G             Em
shit, with a pretty smile, and I refuse to compromise. Oh,
D                     C             Bb    G
you're giving me such a heavy, heavy, heavy load.

G                 Em                  G                       Em
You may hold some vision of truth, if truth can be found in a lie. 
G                   Em                 G                  Em
Maybe some grain of inspiration, for a song that's deep inside. Oh,
C             Am         
tears running down you're face, just screaming
C               D
"look me in the eye". Well I'm
C                G               Em
looking straight at your twisted face, and it's
 G                Em
enough to make me cry. The
D                 C         Bb
path is there for those who want to, 
G                Em
pay the price of loving you, 
G                 Em
in more ways than one. 
G                   Em
Wrapped around you're finger, but I 
G                 Em
think my time has come, but I 
C            Am
never can be too sure, cuz I

I am a Romeo, am a Romeo, with no place to go

(Verses 2and 3 follow same chord pattern)
Sometimes I think you hate me, hang up the phone,
but take a closer look, this hate I feel is my own.
So many times I've loved you, more than myself,
it's time to take that love and put it on the shelf.
Oh, and when I hold you tight,
it makes me want to scream and fight.
Love turned to hate,
some how it's just, how it's just,
how it's just to late.

I am a Romeo, am a Romeo with no place to go

Rock the reggae music, cuz it sounds so fine, right!
When I hold you tight, in my arms you are mine,
but in the morning when I wake up and I still feel the same,
I know something goin on and I know who's to blame.
Everytime I tell you I'm the real Romeo,
it fills my soul and heart with anger, pain, and sorrow.
Cuz' something's going on and I think you should know,
so listen to my rhyme, cuz this is how it goes:

In a tight mini short in a short mini skirt,
it feels so wrong and it feels so right.
the more I think about it your a pain in the ass,
I told you many times, this time it's gonna last.
Want the kind of woman who can make me feel right,
not sloppy drunk sex on a Saturday night. cuz,

I am a Romeo, am a Romeo with no place to go
Cm                        Bb
Pull up your honey if you gotta one see,
             Cm                            Bb                       
because your down with the style, cuz your down with me. oh,
rig the selector when your on the mixer,
along with Peter Mitchell upon the echo chamber. Two, one,
no they must see but no, they can't test me.
Two, three of them come and say you can't test me.
Because me rock the reggae music in a different stylee.
Me rock the kinda reggae music right on time, because your down with the
band that they call Sublime, right?

Don't take it too slow, don't take me wrong,
me know which way to go, me, me, me all right,
me rock the reggae music day and all night.

Makes you wanna explode,
makes me wanna explode,
makes me wanna explode,
makes you wanna explode,
sometimes it makes you wanna explode.

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:

Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

Go down to the bandstand on the pier

Bridge:

I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:

I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E

because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

[chorus]
