Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Sign said [D]cold beer,
I pulled [G]in there
Pulled up a [D]chair, to have just [G]one
Now my head [D]hurts, got this [G]sun burn
[C]Oh what on earth, [D]have [G]I done

[Verse 2]
How'd I [C]wind up in Ja[G]maica
Washed [D]up like some lost cast [G]away
How did [C]one round of beer
lead [Bm]to me laying [E]here
On this [Am]bed of sand in M[D]ontego B[G]ay
[D]Don't I know

[Verse 3]
[C]you[D], ain't you the[G] girl who
I was talk[D]ing to, back at [G]the bar
Your dress was light [D]green
and I had [G]on blue jeans
Tell [C]me what's it mean,
when we don't know where [D]we [G]are

[Verse 4]
How'd I [C]wind up in Ja[G]maica
Was it [D]your wild hair or was [G]it mine
Oh I [C]barely remember,
you [Bm]cussing Decem[E]ber
As you [Am]passed me [D]that salt and the

[Interlude 1]
lime
[G][C][G][D][C][G][C][G][D]
[G]
It's [D]been a year

[Verse 5]
now, we're still [G]here now
All settled [D]down, might not go back [G]again
Like a couple of beach [D]bums,
we hardly work [G]much
Still ask each [C]other
[D]every now [G]and then

[Verse 6]
How'd we [C]wind up in Ja[G]maica
Was [D]it your wild hair or was [G]it mine
Oh who [C]cares it don't matter
we're [Bm]happy ever [E]after
Now [Am]pass me that [D]salt and [G]the lime

[Verse 7]
Got it [C]made here in Ja[G]maica
Wouldn't [D]have it any other [G]way
To this [C]day it ain't clear all
I [Bm]know is we're [E]here
On this [Am]bed [D]of sand in Montego Bay

[Outro 1]
