Jamaica Farewell Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Em][A][D][Em][A][D]

[Verse 1]
Down the way where [G]the
night are gay
And [A]the sun shines dearly
on the [D]mountain top
I took a trip on [G]a sailing ship
And when I [A]reached Jamaica I [D]made a stop

[Verse 2]
But I'm [D]sad to say I'm [Em]on my way
[A]Won't be back for man[D]y a day
My heart is down, my head is [Em]turning around
I had to [A]leave a girl in [D]Kingston Town

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em][A][D][G][Em][A][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]Sounds of [G]laughter everywhere
An[Em]d th[A]e dancing girls swing to[D] and fro
I must declare [G]my love too is there
Though I've [A]been from Maine to [D]Mexico

[Verse 4]
But I'm [D]sad to say I'm [Em]on my way
[A]Won't be back for man[D]y a days
My heart is down, my head is [Em]turning around
I had to [A]leave a girl in King[D]ston

[Interlude 2]
Town
[D][G][Em][A][D][G][Em][A][D]

[Verse 5]
Down at the market [G]you can hear
Ladies cry[A]ing out while on their
[D]heads they bear
Ackee rice, salt [G]fish on ice and
The [A]rum is fine any [D]time of year

[Verse 6]
But I'm [D]sad to say [Em]I'm on my way
[A]Won't be back for man[D]y a day
My heart is down, my head is [Em]turning around
I had to [A]leave a girl in [D]Kingston Town

[Verse 7]
Sad to say I'm [Em]on my way
[A]Won't be back for man[D]y a day
My heart is down, my heart is [Em]turning around
I had to [A]leave a girl in [D]King

[Outro 1]
