Jamaica Farewell Chords by Jimmy Buffett

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I'd like to take you back to the beginning when I first heard this song.
This is what got me out of Mobile, Alabama.
Thank you, Marybelle Blunty.
I hope you like what we're going to do here.
Here we go.

[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] Down the river [A] the night's again.
[B] The sun shines daily on [E] the mountain top.
_ I took a trip on [A] a sailing ship.
[B] But when I reached Jamaica, [E] I made her [F#m] stop.
[E] Now I'm sad to say [A] I'm on my _ [B] way.
I'll be back for [E] many a day.
My heart is down, [A] my head is turning around.
[B] I had to leave a little [F#m] girl [E] in Kingston town.
_ Sounds of laughter [A] _ everywhere.
[B] And the dancing girl [E] sways you and I.
_ I must declare [A] my heart is dead.
Though [B] I have been from Maine [E] to Mexico.
Still I'm sad to say [A] I'm on my way.
[B] I'll be back [E] for many a day.
My heart is down, my [A] head is turning around.
[B] I had to leave a [F#m] little girl in [E] Kingston town. _ _ _
Yeah, [A] Robert G.

_ _ _ _ _ [Am] [E] Down at the market [A] you can hear ladies [B] cry out.
While on [E] their heads they bear.
Hot deer eyes, [A] strong fish of a night.
Oh, the [B] rum is fine any [E] time of year.
Now I'm sad to say I'm on my [A] way.
[B] _ I'll be back [E] for many a day.
My heart is down, my [A] head is turning around.
I [B] had to leave a little [F#m] girl [E] in Kingston town.
Down the way [A] where the nights are [F#m] gay.
[B] And the sun shines daily [E] on the mountain top.
_ I took a trip [A] on the sailing ship.
But [B] when I reached Jamaica, [E] I made her stop.
Now I'm sad to say I'm on my [A] way.
[B] I'll be back [E] for many a day.
My heart is down, my [A] head is turning around.
I [B] had to leave a [A] little girl [E] in Kingston town.
I had [G#m] to leave a [F#m] little girl [E] in Kingston town.
I had to leave a [F#m] little girl [E] in Kingston [G#m] town.
