Verse 1:

FF      F#F#   FF
Past the Gulf Of Mexico is an island where
       F#F#        FF
I lived and loved a long time ago
          F#F#       FF
Disappointed in love I decided to roam
 F#F#
Sad was the day that I sailed far away from
  FF
my home

FF        C majorC
Every dream I dream takes me again
FF              Bb majorBb
To the island down in the Carribean
 FF         C majorC          FF C majorC
Back to happiness and my Spanish Town home
 FF          C majorC
To the brown skinned girl that's causin' me
FF         Bb majorBb
To be filled with grief and misery
FF          C majorC         FF
If she takes me back I will never more roam

Brown skinned girl from Spanish town lives

in my heart

known

I'm just like a bird that dosen't sing

Like a seagull with a broken wing

Take me off of this ship let me go home
