    Joy and Blues (repeat 3 times) Here we are in this ocean Between life and death and truth and lie Between rich and poor and sick and cure Between joy and blues (joy and blues) Here we are in this ocean Between light a day and dark a night Between nature and destruction Between joy and blues (joy and blues) Choose well and make sure you don't lose Do what you gotta do 'Cause if it's money you put down It's only money you could lose Choose well and make sure you don't lose Pick your choice - choose well 'Cause when your life is on the line It's only life you can lose Alright We have the potion To clear all evil notion Putting these words in motion I refuse to give joy to blues Tell me why should we live between joy and blues Choose well and make sure you don't lose Do what you gotta do 'Cause if a money you put down It's only money you can lose don't you know Choose well and make sure you don't lose Pick your choice - choose well 'Cause when your life is on the line It's only life you can lose Joy and blues (repeat 2 times) Solo Here we are in the big blue sea Between faith and trust and hypocrisy Between wants and needs, between joy and blues Here we are in this ocean Between fantasy and destiny, between quality and quantity Between joy and blues, between joy and blues Between joy and blues... (repeat) Choose well and make sure you don't lose Do what you gotta do 'Cause if a money you put down It's only money you could lose Just choose well and make sure you don't lose Pick your choice - choose well When your life is on the line, your life is on the line Your life is on the line, only life you can lose Choose well choose well choose well make sure you don't lose Choose well choose well choose well make sure you don't lose Drums: Wilburn "Squidly" Cole Bass: Christopher Meredith Guitars: Ian Coleman, Earl "Chinna" Smith Keyboards: Carol "Bowie" McLaughlin Lead vocal: David "Ziggy" Marley Background vocal: Cedella Marley, Sharon Marley Prendergast, Erica Newell
