Chords

As recorded by Chuck Berry (From the 1965 Album CHUCK BERRY IN LONDON) [Intro] E [Verse 1]
E                      A
Down the way where the nights are gay

        B                          E
And the sun shines brightly on the mountaintop

                   A
I took a trip on a sailing ship

         B                   E
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
[Chorus]
E                     A
I'm sorry to say, I'm on my way

B                   E
I won't be back for many a day

                             A
My heart is down, my head is turning around

         B                       E
I had to leave my little girl in Kingston town
[Guitar Solo] E A B E A B E A B E A B E [Verse 2]
E                  A
Sounds of laughter everywhere

        B                      E
And the dancing girls swingin' to and fro

                       A
I must declare that my heart is there

       B                       E
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico
[Chorus]
E                     A
I'm sorry to say, I'm on my way

B                   E
I won't be back for many a day

                             A
My heart is down, my head is turning around

         B                       E
I had to leave my little girl in Kingston town
[Outro-Guitar Solo] E A B E A B E A B E A B E
