[Verse 1]

  E                           A             A/G#
Jamaica was the lovely one I played her well
      F#m7                B7                     E    Bsus4
As we lay in the tall grass where the shadows fell
E                                A             A/G#
Hiding from the children so they would not tell
          F#m7                                 B
We would stay there until her sister rang the evening bell


[Chorus]

         E  E7   A                  E   E7  A
Jamaica say you will help me find a way to fill these empty hours
E   E/D#  C#m   E/B  B                 A     A/G# A/F#   E       B7sus4
Say you  will             come again tomorrow


[Verse 2] 

  E                           A             A/G#
The daughter of a captain on the rolling seas
       F#m7                B7                     E    Bsus4
She would stare across the water  from the tree
E                                A             A/G#
Last time he was home he held her on his knees
             F#m7                                 B
And said the next time they would sail away  just where they please


[Chorus]

        E   E7  A                    E  E7 A
Jamaica say you will help me find a way to fill these lifeless sails
E   E/D#  C#m   E/B  B                 A     A/G# A/F#   E
Stay un - til           my ships can find the sea

[Verse 3]

  E                           A             A/G#
Jamaica was a sweet young one I loved her true
       F#m7                B7                     E    Bsus4
She was a comfort and a mercy through and through
  E                           A             A/G#
Hiding from this world together next thing I knew
             F#m7                               B
They had brought her things down to the bay, what could I do


[Chorus]

         E   E7  A                   E  E7  A
Jamaica say you will help me find a way to fill these lifeless sails and then we'll
E   E/D#  C#m   E/B  B                 A     A/G# A/F#   E
Sail un - til           our waters have run dry
