My first tab, feel free to say whatever.  Did this tab on a classical acoustic 
guitar so may sound just a little different on yours. Enjoy this awesome quasi-
reggae song! -rlh1498 

Say Hey (I Love You), Michael Franti & Spearhead

Capo 2

Chorus:

G
I say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way.
C                               G
Seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know,
   Am       D                 G
But I know one thing, that I love you.
   Am          D           G
I love you, I love you, I love you.

Verse 1:

G
I've been a lot of places all around the way
C			   G
I've seen a lot of joy, and I've seen a lot of pain
G
But I don't want to write a love song for the world
C			   G
I just want to write a song about a boy and a girl

G
Junkies on the corner, always calling my name
C			G
And the kids on the corner playing ghetto games
G
When I saw you getting down, girl, I hoped it was you
C			   G
And when I looked into your eyes, I knew it was true

Chorus:

G
Say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way.
C                               G
Seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know,
   Am       D                 G
But I know one thing, that I love you.
   Am          D           G
I love you, I love you, I love you.

Verse 2:

G
Now I'm not a highly metaphysical man
C		    G
But I know when the stars are aligned you can
G
Bump into a person in the middle of the road
C		     G
Look into their eyes, and you suddenly know

G
Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you
C		    G
Dancing in the night in the middle of June
G
My momma told me don't lose you
C		G
'Cause the best luck I had was you

G
I say hey, I'll be gone today, but I'll be back around the way.
C                               G
Seems like everywhere I go, the more I see the less I know,
   Am       D                 G
But I know one thing, that I love you.
   Am          D           G
I love you, I love you, I love you.
