 With a Rocksteady beat.

Interlude:

G  G7  G  G/F  G/F# (x2)

Verse 1:

   G          G7   G       G/F
An earthquake is e-rupting,
G/F# G      G7     G      G/F
 But not in Orange Street.
G/F# G           G7     G      G/F
 A   ghost dance is pre-paring,
G/F#        G       G7        G    G/F
 You got to help us with your feet.

G/F#       C7
 If you're not in the mood to dance,
Step back, grab yourself a seat.
     G          G7        G     G/F
This may not be uptown Ja-maica,
G/F#    G       G7    G     G/F  G/F#
 But we promise you a treat.

Chorus 1:

D7
 Buster bowl me over, with your bogus dance;
C7
 Shuffle me off my feet.
     G           G7      G        G/F
Even though I'll keep on running,
G/F#        G      G7     G       G/F
 I'll never get to orange street.

Verse 2:

G/F#  G            G7      G   G/F
 So I set it up my-self to say,
G/F#     G       G7      G     G/F
 For the man who set the beat.
G/F#     G              G7      G     G/F
 So I'll leave it up to you out there,
G/F#    G        G7     G     G/F
 To get him back on his feet.

Chorus 2:

D7
 Buster bowl me over, with your bogus dance;
C7
 Shuffle me off my feet.
     G           G7      G        G/F
Even though I'll keep on running,
G/F#        G      G7     G       G/F
 I'll never get to orange street.
