[Intro] Bm A Bm x2 [Verse]
Bm         A             G               A
Some folks say that I've got the perfect life

Bm           A             G               A
Three swell kids, lots of toys and a lovely wife

   Bm      A           G               A
I fly, I sail, I throw caution to the wind

Bm            A             G               A
Drift like a stratus cloud above the Caribbean

Bm                 A         G               A
But every now and then, the dragons come to call

Bm                   A                   G            A
Just when you least expect it you'll be dodgin' cannonballs

Bm                         A
I've seen too much not to stay in touch

        G                      A
With a world full of love and luck

            Bm                 A
I've got a big suspicion 'bout ammunition

   G               A
I never forget to duck
[Chorus]
     G     A           D      A      Bm
Come back, Come back,  Back to Jamaica

G           A       D      A    Bm
Don\'t you know we made a big mistaka

G             A           D    A     Bm
We\'d be so sad, if you told us goodbye

        G                 F#         F#7
And we promise not to shoot you out of the sky
[Verse]
           Bm         A      G               A
It was a beautiful day, the kind you want to toast

         Bm      A               G             A
We were tree top flyin' movin' west along the coast

         Bm            A           G                A
Then we landed in the water, just about my favorite thrill

            Bm             A           G          A
When some asshole started firing as we taxied to Negril
[Verse]
      Bm               A           G               A
Just about to lose my temper as I endeavored to explain

        Bm            A               G           A
We had only come for chicken we were not a ganja plane

           Bm                     A               G        A
Well, you should have seen their faces when they finally realized

        Bm                 A               G        A
We were not some coked up cowboy sporting guns and alibis
[Chorus]
     G     A           D      A      Bm
Come back, Come back,  Back to Jamaica

G           A       D      A    Bm
Don\'t you know we made a big mistaka

G             A           D    A     Bm
We\'d be so sad, if you told us goodbye

        G                 F#         F#7
And we promise not to shoot you out of the sky
[Bridge]
      Bm          A                G        F#m
They shot from the lighthouse, they shot from highway

     F                 D    F#m
They shot from the top of the cliff,

         Bm       A      G           F#m
they had all gone haywire,We're catchin' fire

     F                 D    F#m
and there wasn't even a spliff
[Instrumental] G A D A Bm x3 G F#m [Verse]
          Bm        A        G        A
Well, the word got out all over the island

Bm         A                  G        A
Friends, strangers, they were all apologizin'

Bm               A        G             A
Some thought me crazy for being way too nice

          Bm          A             G     A
But it's just another shitty day in paradise
[Chorus]
     G     A           D      A      Bm
Come back, Come back,  Back to Jamaica

G           A       D      A    Bm
Don\'t you know we made a big mistaka

G             A           D    A     Bm
We\'d be so sad, if you told us goodbye

        G
And we promise not to shoot you
