[Intro]
G  G  C  D  x3
C  C  D  G
 
While I'm Living
Thanks I'll Be Giving
To the Most High You know
 
[Chorus]
G
I'm living, while I am living
       C             D
to the father I will pray
G                       D       C
Only he know how we get through everyday
G                                      C              D
With all the hike in the price Arm and leg we have to pay
C                 D
While our leaders play
 
[Verse 1]
G                            C         D
All I see people a rip and a rob and a grab
G                      C             D
Tief never love fe see tief wid long bag
G                            C           D
No love for the people who a suffer real bad
C                            D           G
Another toll to the poll may God help we soul
G                                   C      D
What is to stop the youths from get out of control
G                           C            D
Full up of education yet no own no payroll
G                            C               D
The clothes pon my back have countless eyehole.
C                               D          G
could go on and on the full has never been told
 
(Repeat Chorus)
 
[Verse 2]
G
Who can afford to run will run
But what about those who can't? They will have to stay
Opportunity a scarce, scarce commodity
In these times I say!
G          D                 C           D
When mama spend her last and send you go class
D              C
Never you ever play
G                                C      D
It's a competitive world for low budget people,
G                     C         D
Spending a dime while earning a nickel
G                  C          D
With no regards to who it may tickle
C                     D
My cup is full to the brim
           G                      D          G
I could go on and on the full has never been told
 
(Repeat Chorus)
 
[Verse 3]
All I see people a rip and a rob and a grab
Tief never love fe see tief wid long bag
No love for the people who a suffer real bad
Another toll to the poll may God help we soul
What is to stop the youths from get out of control
Full up of education yet no own no payroll
The clothes on my back have countless eyehole
Could go on and on and the full has never been told
 
[Bridge] (Make sure to make a swift transition between the G and D, the G is only played
a brief second)
D
(On and On)                          G
Though this life keep getting me down
D                     G
Don't give up now
D                       G
Got to survive somehow
C                          D                   G
Could go on and on and the full has never been told
 
(Repeat Chorus)
 
[Verse 4]
G
Who can afford to run will run
But what about those who can't? They will have to stay
Opportunity a scarce, scarce commodity
In these times I say!
G          D                 C           D
When mama spend her last and send you go class
D              C
Never you ever play
G                                C      D

My cup is full to the brim
           G                      D          G
I could go on and on the full has never been told
I could go on and on the full has never been told
I could go on and on the full has never been told
I could go on and on.......
             C       D       G
The full has never...been....toooooold...

Capo on first fret Thank you so much putting this tab together. I will say that it is a much easier play to have the capo on the first fret. Please update tab.

Pretty sure the intro holds the D rather than going to C.... G G C D x3 D C G (Not C C D G) Definitely Capo 1st fret too Also he seems to hold the G rather than go to the C D on every progression. Chords in the verse and bridge are a bit messy too. I might start uploading my transcriptions because most online chords/tabs are quite misleading.
