[D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] People want to know why [A] Jamaica run from [D] the Federation.
_ Well, they want to know why Jamaica run [E] away _ [A] from the [G] Federation. _
_ [D] Jamaica have a right to speak [Eb] she mine, [A] that is my opinion.
And if you believe in [D] democracy, you'll agree with me.
But if they know they didn't want Federation,
_ _ and they know they don't [Fm] want to unite [Cm] as [G] one,
[A] _ _ independence was at the [E] door, why didn't they speak before?
This is no time to say you are [D] federating no more.

_ [G] _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ [Gb] they didn't get the capital site, _ [Am] that [D] nearly caused big fight.
When [Gm] Sir Grantley [D] Adams took up [Gb] his post, [A] that even [D] made things worse,
we _ ain't want no [Bm] Beijing premiere, Trinidad can't be capital for [G] here.
So the grumbling [D] went on and on to a big referendum.
But if they know they didn't want _ Federation,
and [A] they [D] know they don't want [E] to unite as [Em] one and only [A] one,
I say to [G] tell the doctor you're [E] not in favor, don't behave like a blasted traitor.
How the devil you mean [A] you [D] federating no more?

[D] Sorry but no [Gbm] Federation [A] again, _ I think [D] it's a big shame.
[G] After so [A] much efforts and [D] energy _ [A] put [D] by everybody,
_ [A] right now it's [D] only a memory, [A] we fail [D] miserably.
Some _ [G] may say we shouldn't help [Ebm] parties, but it's Jamaica we [D] started.
If they know they didn't want Federation, _ _
and they know they don't [E] want to unite as [G] one,
[Eb] _ [G] just tell the doctor you're not [A] in favor, [D] don't behave like a [Em] blasted traitor.
This [E] is no time to say you are [A] federating [D] no more. _ _

_ _ [A] _ _ _ [Ebm] Federation boiled [D] down to simply [B] this, is dog eat dog and [D] survival of the fittest.
_ [F] Everybody fighting [D] for independence, _ singularly, Trinidad for [Eb] instance.
[E] We gonna get it too so don't bother, [A] but I find we should all be [D] together,
not [Bm] separated as [Ebm] we are, [Gbm] because of [D] Jamaica.
If they know they didn't want Federation,
and they _ _
[Ab] _ know they don't want to unite [E] as one,
[A] tell the doctor [G] _ _ you're not in [A] favor, don't behave like [B] a blasted [E] traitor.
How the devil you mean [A] you are federating no more?
