E A A/G# Jamaica was the lovely one I played her well F#m B E Bsus4 As we lay in the tall grass where the shadows fell E A A/G# Hiding from the children so they would not tell F#m B We would stay there until her sister rang the evening bell

[Verse 2]
E A A/G# The daughter of a captain on the rolling seas F#m B E Bsus4 She would stare across the water from the trees E A A/G# Last time he was home he held her on his knees F#m B And said the next time they would sail away just where they please
[Chorus]
