Jamaïca Farewell Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C][G][C][G][C][G][C][F][G][C]

[Verse 1]
Down the way where [F]the
nights are gay
And [G]the sun shines daily on [C]the mountain top
I took a trip on [F]a sailing ship
And when I [G]reached Jamaica I [C]made a stop

[Verse 2]
But [C]I'm sad to say I'm [Dm]on my way
[G]Won't be back for[C] many a day
My heart is down, my head is [Dm]turning around
I had to [C]leave a little [G]girl in
Kingston [C]town

[Verse 3]
[C]
Sounds of laughter [F]everywhere
And [G]the dancing girls sway [C]to and fro
I must declare my [F]heart is there
Though I've [G]been from Maine [C]to Mexico

[Verse 4]
But [C]I'm sad to say I'm
[Dm]on my wa[G]y
Won't be back for [C]many a day
My heart is down, my head is [Dm]turning around
I had to [C]leave a little [G]girl in Kingston [C]town

[Verse 5]
[C]
Down the market [F]you can hear
Ladies [G]cry out while on their
[C]heads they bear
'Akey' rice, salt [F]fish are nice
And the [G]rum is fine any [C]time of year

[Verse 6]
But [C]I'm sad to say I'm [Dm]on my way
[G]Won't be back for[C] many a day
My heart is down, my head is [Dm]turning around
I had to [C]leave a little [G]girl in Kingston [C]town

[Verse 7]
Sad to say I'm [Dm]on my way
[G]Won't be back for[C] many a day
My heart is down, my head is [Dm]turning around
I had to [G]leave a little girl in [C]Kingston town

[Verse 8]
Sad to say I'm [Dm]on my way
[G]Won't be back for[C] many a day
My heart is down, my head is [Dm]turning around
I had to [G]leave a little girl in [C]Kingston town
