For strumming pattern, listen to the song's rythm (kinda reggae) 
  
This is the easy way of playing this song... 
 
If you think it's too low, put on your capo

at a west end avenue at 63 
     F                           Bb,F         
the beginning of a leap year, february, 
  G                                C  
?96 when a guitar picked up in the mix 
       F                         Bb,F 
i committed to the licks like a nickel back of tricks

VERSE 3: (DO G-C-F-Bb,F) 
see i'm a down home brother, redneck undercover 
with my guitar here i'm ready to play 
and i'm a sucker for philly 
got a natural ability to give the freestyle 
look at my flexibility 
dangerous on the mic 
my ghetto hat's cocked right 
all the ladies say, "yo, that kid is crazy" 
we got the backstage betties taking more than they can get 
they say, "what's up with m-r-a-z?" 
 
BRIDGE: (SAME AS VERSE) 
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey 
something's different in my world today 
well they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow 
hey, hey, something's different in my world today 
well they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow 
i'm just a curbside prophet love 
a curbside brother love 
a curbside brother love 
a curbside oh come on 
i'm just a curbside prophet and i'm waiting for my rocket 
i'm waiting for my rocket to come 
 
Rock On!
