I beg your pardon, [G] mama, what did you say?
[A] My mind was drifting [D] off on Martinique Bay.
It's not that I'm not [G] interested, you see.
[A] Augusta, Georgia [D] is just no place to be.
I think Jamaican [G] in the moonlight.
[A] Sandy beaches, [D] drinking rum every night.
We got no money, mama, [G] but we can go.
[A] We'll split the difference, [D] go to Coconut Grove.
Keep on talking, [G] mama, I can't hear.
[A] Your voice, it tickles [D] down inside of my ear.
I feel a tropical [G] vacation this year
[A] might be the answer [D] to this hillbilly fear.
I think Jamaican [G] in the moonlight.
[A] Sandy beaches, [D] drinking rum every night.
We got no [G] money, mama, but we can go.
[A] We'll split the difference, [D] go to Coconut Grove.
Voila, [G] an American dream.
[A] Well, we can travel, [D] girl, without any need.
When it's as easy [G] as closing your [A] eyes
and dream Jamaica [D] is that big neon sign.

might be the answer [D] to this hillbilly fear.
Voila, [G] an American dream.
[A] Yeah, we can travel, girl, [D] without any need.
When it's as [G] easy as [A] closing your eyes
and dream Jamaica [D] is that big neon sign.

Split the [D] difference, go to Coconut Grove.
