Down in Jamaica
Take
[F#] on your
[B] [F#] Lonesome
Take and run the [B] fire
To the [F#] fire that I have on [C#m] that [E] road
She just keeps on trying
[B] [D#m] And she smiles when [G#] she feels like crying
[E] On that road, on that road, on that [B] road

[G#m] Poor old [F#] Jimmy sits all alone in a moonlight
So his woman [B] kisses another man

[B]
Well the [E] first [G#m] time is my [D#m] last time

If [E] you know it, don't [D#m] wanna show it
[F#] [C#] Hold on tight, don't [B] let her say goodnight Hey [D#m] hey
Gather [B] sun on my [F#] shoulders, got my toughest sand
My woman's left me for some other [B] man
But I don't really care, I've done [D#m] all I can
[B] Toss up my heart to see where [F#m] it lands
On [E] that road
I just keep on trying
[B] [F#] And I smile [G#] when I feel like crying
