(intro) G  G/F#  Em  D   C

G                            C   
Jamaica was the lovely one I 
          C/B C/A
played her well
      Am              Am7   D    
As we lay in the tall grass where
             G     D
 the shadows fell
G                                
Hiding from the children so they 
C           C/B   C/A
would not tell
          Am                  
We would stay there untill her 
  Am7            D
sister rang the evening bell
         G  G7  C                
Jamaica say you will help me find
   G   G7 C
 a way to fill these empty hours
G   Bm   Em  Em/D D    
Say you  will     come again 
      C  C/B C/A       G/B       D
tomorrow
Continues after the ad
D7  G                            
The daughter of a captain on the 
C          C/B   C/A
rolling seas
           Am              Am7    
She would stare across the water  
D        G       D
from the tree
G                                  
Last time  he was home he held her 
C          C/B  C/A
on his knees
             Am                   
And said the next time they would 
Am7              D
sail away  just where they please
        G   G7  C                
Jamaica say you will help me find
   G   G7  C
 a way to   fill these lifeless 
sails
G    Bm  Em      Em/D     D   
Stay untill            my 
               C    C/B  C/A
ships can find the sea

G                             
Jamaica was a sweet young one I 
  C            C/B C/A
loved her true
          Am            Am    D  
She was a comfort and a mercy 
       G       D
thru and thru
G                               C
Hiding from this world together 
               C/B C/A
next thing I knew
         Am                        
They had brought her things down to
     Am7/D  D
 the bay    what could I do
        G   G7  C                
Jamaica say you will help me find
   G   G7   C
 a way to   fill these sails and 
then
we'll
G     Bm Em       Em/D      D 
Sail untill             our 
               C     C/B  C/A    G
waters have run dry
