Sublime - What I Got - Cover

29/366 - With all of this snow I needed a song that reminds me of summer. What better band than Sublime and what better song than "What I Got"?

The 366 Project is a personal challenge to post a different song to YouTube every single day in 2016, a leap year. The goal of the Project is to better myself by learning and performing music of many different genres, using the videos to hold myself accountable.

Lyrics

Early in the morning, risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette and I'll strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason, a reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money's all gone
I got a Dalmatian, and I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a mother fuckin' riot

Life is too short, so love the one you got
'Cause you might get run over or you might get shot
Never start no static, I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with no bulletproof vest
Take a small example, take a t-t-t-t-tip from me
Take all of your money, give it all to charity

Love is what I got, it's within my reach
Yeah, and the Sublime style's still straight from Long Beach
It all comes back to you, you'll finally get what you deserve
Try and test that, you're bound to get served
Love's what I got, don't start a riot
You'll feel it when the dance gets hot

Lovin' is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin' is what I got, I remember that
Lovin' is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin' is what I got

I don't cry when my dog runs away
I don't get angry at the bills I have to pay
I don't get angry when my mom smokes pot
Hits the bottle and goes right to the rock
Fuckin' and fightin', it's all the same
Livin' with Louie Dog's the only way to stay sane
Let the lovin', let the lovin' come back to me

'Cause lovin' is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin' is what I got, I remember that
Lovin' is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin' is what I got, I got, I got, I got

My husband plays this on guitar for our son all the time (3m) and he's currently at work and I could not calm my son down. Normally my husband would bust out his guitar right about then. But like I said, he's working. Your video however immediately had the same effect. Thank you so much for uploading this.

I've been learning guitar for about a week now, and I've got my chords down pretty well. I've been looking at the chord charts, but I've had issues with seeing how they fit into songs, so watching this was really helpful. Great job!

[DrewMather]

Awesome cover! Nicely played and sung. Thanks for sharing!

[periosiecki]

WOW dude- WOW. This is one of the best versions I’ve seen of this song, if not THE best- you ROCK!

[Ronyeah]

Yeah 🤘👍🔥🔥 for sure! Thanks for the inspiration.

OMG I HAD TO SUB!!!! YOUR AMAZING MUCH

[davidreynders]

You have such a good energy when you jam man :) Thanks!!

[jakeklutts]

1:07 love your vocals on the “it all comes back to you” part. I always thought it needed to be a loud holler, seems like a very minute point but I think that’s why I liked the original more than the reprise.
Anyways great cover 👍 once I get my High E string replaced I’m gonna try and learn the riff.

[ScottDichotomy]

Hell yeah sublime is definitely also my go to for serious summer vibes! Very well done. I dig how you played it exactly as recorded but still made it your own. I went the other way and tried to channel sublime lol.
