Jamaica Farewell chords by Patti Page

Chords with lyrics

A augmentedA            D MajorD
Down the way, where the nights are gay,
       A augmentedA      D MajorD      A augmentedA E7E7  A augmentedA
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top,
A augmentedA          D MajorD
I took a trip on a sailing ship,
          A augmentedA    D MajorD    A augmentedA  E7E7 A augmentedA
And when I reached Jamaica, I made a stop.
E7E7    A augmentedA       D MajorD
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way,
      E7E7        A augmentedA
Won't be back for many a day,
   A augmentedA    A7A7       D MajorD    Dm7Dm7
My heart is down, my head is turning around,
      A augmentedA      E7E7   A augmentedA
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.
A augmentedA            D MajorD
Sounds of laughter everywhere,
      A augmentedA      D MajorD      A augmentedA E7E7  A augmentedA
And the dancing girls sway to and fro,
A augmentedA          D MajorD
I must declare, my heart is there,
        A augmentedA    D MajorD    A augmentedA  E7E7 A augmentedA
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico.
E7E7    A augmentedA       D MajorD
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way,
   E7E7        A augmentedA
Won't be back for many a day,
   A augmentedA    A7A7       D MajorD    Dm7Dm7
My heart is down, my head is turning around,
      A augmentedA      E7E7   A augmentedA
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.
A augmentedA            D MajorD
Down at the market, you can hear,
      A augmentedA      D MajorD      A augmentedA E7E7  A augmentedA
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear,
A augmentedA          D MajorD
Aki rice, swordfish are nice,
    A augmentedA    D MajorD    A augmentedA  E7E7 A augmentedA
And the rum is fine any time of year.
E7E7    A augmentedA       D MajorD
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way
    E7E7        A augmentedA
Won't be back for many a day
   A augmentedA    A7A7       D MajorD    Dm7Dm7
My heart is down, my head is turning around,
     A augmentedA      E7E7   A augmentedA
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
