[A]
[F#m] [B] [E]
Jamaica was the lovely [A] one, I played her well.
[F#m] As we lay in the [B] tall grass where the [E] shadows fell.
Hiding from the children so [A] they would not tell.
[F#m] We would stay there till her sister rang [B] the evening bell.
[E] Make her say, you [A] will help me find [E] a way to [A] fill these empty [E] hours.
Say, you [C#m] will [B] come [A] again tomorrow.
[E] Daughter of a captain [A] on the rolling sea.
[F#m] She would stare [B] across the water from the tree.
[E] [B] [E] Last time he was home he [A] held her on his knees.
[F#m] And said the next time they would sail [A] away.
Just where they please.
[E] Make her say, [A] you will help me find [E] a way [A] to fill these lifeless [E] sails.
Say,
[C#m] until my ships can [A] find the sea.

[B] [E] Jamaica was a sweet young [A] one, I loved her true.
[F#m] She was a comfort [B] and a mercy [E] through.
Hiding from this world [A] together, next thing I knew.
[F#m] It had brought her things down to the [B] bay.
One could I do to [E] make her say, [A] you will help me [E] find a way [A] to fill these sails.
[E] And we will sail [C#m] until [B] our waters [A] have run dry.
