[G#m] [B]
[G#m] [B] [G#]
[G#m]
Down in Jamaica [B] they got lots of pretty [B] women
[G#m] Steal your money [C#m] then they break your heart
[B] [G#m] Lonesome Sue, [B] she's in love [G#m] with old [C#m] Sam
Taken from the firing [B] to the [G#m] frying pan
[C#m] On and on, she just keeps [F#] on trying
[F#] And she [G#] smiles when she feels like crying
[C#m] On and on, on and [F#] on, [B] on and [G#m] on
Oh, old Jimmy [B] sits [G#m] alone in the moonlight
Saw his woman [C#] kiss another man
[B] So he [G#m] takes a lattice, steals the stars from the [C#] sky
Puts on some [B] natra and starts [G#m] to cry
[C#m] On and on, he [F#] just keeps on trying
And he [G#] smiles when he feels like crying
[C#m] On and on, [F#] on and on, on [B] and [G#m] on
[E] Well, my first time [D#m] is the last time
[C#m] It'll make you feel [B] so bad
But if [E] you know it, [D#m] show it
[G#m] Hold on [C#] tight, don't [F#] dare say goodnight
[B] [G#m]
Got the sun on my shoulders and my toes in the sand
One's left [C#] before the other man
Oh, but [B] I don't care, I'll just dream and [G#m] sit and
[C#] Toss up a heart and see [G#m] where it lands
On [C#m] and on, I just [F#] keep on trying
[B] And I smile when I [G#] feel like dying
[C#m] On and on, on [F#] and on, on [B] and [G#m] on
[G#] On and [C#m] on, on and [F#] on, [C#] on and on
[G#m]
On and [C#m] on, on and [E] on, on [B] and on
