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 vac ation 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 A merican Dream. 
A D 
  Well, we can travel girl, with out any means. 
D G 
  When it's as easy as  closing your eyes 
A D 
  And dream Jamaica is a  big neon sign.

[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 A merican Dream. 
A D 
  Yeah, we can travel girl, with out 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 
  Split the difference, go to  Coconut Grove.
