  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.  Le mélange subtil des genres (tels que le reggae, ska, hip-hop, dub, et punk rock), l'humour et le décalage des textes mais aussi la fantaisie des reprises en font l'un des groupes les plus influents de la scène californienne des années 1990.  Sublime a reçu une étoile sur le Hollywood Walk of Fame.  Membres      * Bradley Nowell - chant, guitare     * Eric Wilson - basse     * Bud Gaugh - batterie  Historique

You Better Listen

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
Ooh ...  ooh, and we'll watch it grow and die

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

I can play the guitar 
D                   G
Like a motherfuckin' riot

D
LIfe is too short 
G
So love the one you got
D
Cause you might get run over
G
or you might get shot

D
Never start static

Never had to battle with my 
G
bulletproof vest 

D
Take a small example

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)
F                    G
So I bought myself a gun
F                                        G
and I'm right back, right back where I'm from


G   F        G         F
oohhh, don't tease me
            G         F
ohhh, don't tease me
      G     F
don't tease me, oh



F           G
sometimes I pray
F                         G
waiting, waiting for some bright holiday (holiday)
F                    G
So I bought myself a gun

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

By the rivers of babylon

when he remembered Zion


chorus:

oh for the wicked

carry us away captivity 
  C
required from us a song

how can we sing King Alfa's song

In a strange land

5446/ball And Chain

A                                 A   
On the eastside, that's where I met my Ramona,
                 A 
"I wanna go to a party," that's what she said
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
I wanna know, Ramona am I the only one tell me
             A
and she said "Your not the only one, but your the best Bradley" BAH  BAH

And know now I waiting for my Ruca and I barely pulled up with my hiena
                     A                                    A
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,
      A                           E    E
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.
             B
let her pass by.

Scarlet Begonias

Intro:
D  E

Jailhouse gets empty,

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.
D                       E
Can't fight against the youth,
            D
Cause we're strong.
                    E
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

On the freeway in the county, the sun don't shine 
I feel, I feel, I feel, I feel a bati man
Outside my cell, deputies creep
                             A
and in this cell, all I do is sleep
and I dream that I'm free 
				E
and I'm back on the reef where I throw my net out into the sea 
   C7                       B
and all the fine heinas come swimmin' to me
    A
they hold me and they promise me things
           C7
and when the tides high I cry like a little baby
                C
don't give me no right kinda love 
no Sunday mornin'
B
don't want no puppy lovin'
A

E
I-- gotta contact on, gotta contact my... baby girl
But I would, never could get up
Why does it hafta be so damn tough?
      A
With maietes and the ese's
yes they're steady on the phone
        (pm)
I'll be damned if the man with the shank in his hand
will make me feel,

        E
I feel a bati man
                    A
And I know, that I'm there 
          E
Some-day, I...
A                       E
back on the reef where I throw my net out into the sea 
C7                      B
all the fine heinas come swimmin' to me
A
hold me baby, promise me 
          C7
with no protection a my erection I won't get no vd
                C

When you grab a hold of me

Tell me that I'll never be set free
A                       Bm
But I'm a parasite
G                                 A
Creep and crawl, I step into the night

A                D
Two pints of booze

Tell me, are you a bad fish too?

Lord knows I'm weak
D                                  E6
Won't somebody get get me off this reef?


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?

and it ruins up her makeup that I never wanted
       F#               E 
A cigarette pressed between her lips 
            F#                           E
while I?m staring at her tits it's the wrong way

so I take her to the can it's the wrong way

The only family that she?s ever had 
        B                            A
is her Seven horny brothers and her drunk-ass Dad
           B            A
He needed money so he put her on the street
                      B                          D
Everything was going fine until the day she met me
E                  D
Happy are you sad wanna shoot your Dad 
     E                          D

    E                     D
We talked all night and tried to make it right
    E                                  D
Believe me shit was tight it was the wrong way
         A           G
Go run away if you don?t wanna stay 
          A            G

     B                  A
but I'm gonna make it hard to live  
           B             A      
Big salty tears rolling down her chin 
        B                   D
and it smears up her makeup I never wanted
E                        D
So we ran away and I'm sorry when I say 
        E                                   D
that straight to this very day it was the wrong way 
  E                                D
She took a hike don't matter if I like it or not 
   E                         D
because she only wants the wrong way
           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...

C                  Bb
A little bit more, A little bit more
C                         Bb
Every day I love him just a little bit more
       C            Bb

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. 


Chorus

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 
C                     D
like to have a little fun. Oh,

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.

Bridge:
G                           F                 C
    Everybody’s talking in words I don't understand

But if you're here with me, I know which way to turn
        Am         F		                   C

De tot cor

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat
Am          C       G         G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

F         C              Am        G
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat
F           C       G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

Am     C           G      F   
Ow-ow, the Bowery, ow-ow, the whiskey neat
Am          C       G         G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)

F      C           Am     G
Ow-ow, the Bowery, ow-ow, the whiskey neat
F           C       G         G
Where y’go, I’m so, grateful, I (it ain’t me)


Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us


             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
             F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G               
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning

         F      C     G
It ain’t me, no-o, no-o
         F      C     G
It ain’t me, no-o, no-o
         F      C     G  E7  Am
It ain’t me, no-o, no-o

It Ain't Me

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
