[Intro]
D G A D D G A G/A Em7/A A7sus4
[Verse 1]
D G I beg your pardon, mama, what did you say? A D My mind was drifting off on Martinique Bay. D G It's not that I'm not interested, you see; A D Augusta, Georgia is just no place to be.
[Chorus]
D G I think Jamaican in the moonlight. A D Sandy beaches, drinking rum every night. D G We got no money, mama, but we can go; A D We'll split the difference, go to Coconut Grove.
[Verse 2]
D G Keep on talking, mama, I can't hear. A D Your voice, it tickles down in side of my ear. D G I feel a tropical vacation this year, A D Might be the answer to this hillbilly beer.
[Chorus]
D G I think Jamaican in the moonlight. A D Sandy beaches, drinking rum every night. D G We got no money, mama, but we can go; A D We'll split the difference, go to Coconut Grove.
[Refrain]
D G Voila! An American Dream. A D Well, we can travel girl, without any means. D G When it's as easy as closing your eyes A D And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign.
[Break]

[Verse 3]
D G Just keep talking, mama, I like that sound. A D It goes so easy with that rain falling down. D G I think a tropical vacation this year, A D Might be the answer to this hillbilly beer.
[Refrain]
D G Voila! An American Dream. A D Well, we can travel girl, without any means. D G When it's as easy as closing your eyes A D And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign.
[Chorus]
D G Just think Jamaican in the moonlight. A D Sandy beaches, drinking rum every night. D G We got no money, mama, but we can go; A D We'll split the difference, go to Coconut Grove.
