cover of a Jackson Browne song [Intro] E Bsus4 A A/G# A/F# E Bsus4 [Verse 1]
  E                           A             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 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
[Chorus]
         E  E7   A
Jamaica say you will help me find

  E   E7  A
a way to fill these empty hours

E   E/D#  C#m   B               A     A/G# A/F#
Say you  will      come again tomorrow
[Verse 2]
    E                            A            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 A/G#
Last time he was home he held her on his knees

             F#m
And said the next time they would sail away

B
just where they please
[Chorus]
         E  E7   A
Jamaica say you will help me find

  E   E7  A
a way to fill these lifeless sails

E    E/D# C#m     B                  A     A/G# A/F#
Stay un - til  my ships can find the sea
[Instrumental] A A/G# A/F# E E A A/G# A/F# A A/G# A/F# E Bsus4 [Verse 3]
  E                             A              A A/G#
Jamaica was a sweet young one I loved her true

          F#m          B                  E      Bsus4
She was a comfort and a mercy through and through

E                              A                   A A/G#
Hiding from this world together next thing I knew

         F#m                               B
They had brought her things down to the bay what could I do
[Chorus]
         E  E7   A
Jamaica say you will help me find

  E   E7  A
a way to fill these sails and then we’ll

E    E/D# C#m      B               A   A/G# A/F#
Sail un - til  our waters have run dry
[Ending] E B A E
