G (X8)
[Verse 1]
G
Every day I read ads in the paper
D
Saying come to the island (come to the island)
D
Bikinied ladies sweet rum drinks
G
They'll keep you smiling (down in the island)
C
I've got calypso music on the record at home
D
When it comes to the warmth and the sunshine
G
Well I got my own
[Chorus]
G
You're my Jamaica
C
You're where I want to be
D G
You're my island when I'm being tossed on a stormy sea
G
My heavenly haven
C
Where I could spend eternity
D G
You're my Jamaica you're paradise to me
[Solo]
| G | D | D | G | G
[Verse 2]
G
While sunny sands palm trees and tans
D
It sounds so inviting (sounds so inviting)
D
Limbo dancing and starlight romancing
G
It's all so exciting (come on down, come on down, come on down)
C
I've got my flowery shirt and rum punch in my hand
D G
And my own exotic lover and my native land
[Chorus]
G
You're my Jamaica
C
You're where I want to be
D G
You're my island when I'm being tossed on a stormy sea
G
My heavenly haven
C
Where I could spend eternity
D G
You're my Jamaica you're paradise to me
[Chorus]
G
You're my Jamaica
C
You're where I want to be
D G
You're my island when I'm being tossed on a stormy sea
G
My heavenly haven
C
Where I could spend eternity
D G
You're my Jamaica you're paradise to me
[Outro]
G
You're my Jamaica
C
You're where I want to be
D G
You're my island when I'm being tossed on a stormy sea
