JAMAICAN FAREWELL
D                      G
Down the way where the nights are gay

        A7                      D
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top

                   G
I took a trip on a sailing ship

           D       A7        D
But when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

                        Em7
Now I'm sad to say, I'm on my way

A7                  D
I won't be back for many a day

                            Em7
My heart is down my head is turning around

         A7                     D
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

D                  G
Sounds of laughter everywhere

        A7                 D
And the dancing girls sway to and fro

                   G
I must declare, my heart is there

            A7                 D
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

                        Em7
Now I'm sad to say, I'm on my way

A7                  D
I won't be back for many a day

                            Em7
My heart is down my head is turning around

         D              A7      D
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

D                  G
Down at the market you can hear

A7                            D
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear

                 G
Ackev rice, salt fish are nice

        A7              D
Oh, the rum is fine any time of year

                        Em7
Now I'm sad to say, I'm on my way

A7                  D
I won't be back for many a day

                            Em7
My heart is down my head is turning around

         D       A7             D
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

D                      G
Down the way where the nights are gay

        A7                      D
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top

                   G
I took a trip on a sailing ship

           A7                D
But when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

                        Em7
Now I'm sad to say, I'm on my way

A7                  D
I won't be back for many a day

                            Em7
My heart is down my head is turning around

         D              A7      D
