(by Bob Marley)

No sun will shine in my day today; (no sun will shine)

The high yellow moon won't come out to play:

(that high yellow moon won't come out to play)

I said (darkness) darkness has covered my light,

(and the stage) And the stage my day into night, yeah.

Where is the love to be found? (oo-ooh-ooh)

Won't someone tell me?

'Cause my (sweet life) life must be somewhere to be found -

(must be somewhere for me)

Instead of concrete jungle (la la-la!),

Where the living is harder (la-la!).

Concrete jungle (la la-la!):

Man you got to do your (la la-la!) best. Wo-ooh, yeah.

No chains around my feet,

But I'm not free, oh-ooh!

I know I am bound here in captivity;

G'yeah, now - (never, never) I've never known happiness;

(never, never) I've never known what sweet caress is -

Still, I'll be always laughing like a clown;

Won't someone help me? 'Cause I (sweet life) -

I've got to pick myself from off the ground

(must be somewhere for me), he-yeah! -

In this a concrete jungle (la la-la!):

I said, what do you cry for me (la-la!) now, o-oh!

Concrete jungle (la la-la!), ah, won't you let me be (la la-la!), now.

Hey! Oh, now!

--- Guitar solo ---

I said that life (sweet life) - it must be somewhere to be found

(must be somewhere for me)

Oh, instead: concrete jungle (la-la!) - collusion (la-la!) -

confusion (confusion). Eh!

Concrete jungle (la-la!): baby, you've got it in.

Concrete jungle (la la-la!), now. Eh!

Concrete jungle (la la-la!).

What do you stand(?) for me (la-la!), now?
