[Abm]
And I'm gonna be a good man.
Down in [B] Jamaica they got [Abm]
lots of pretty women.
Steal your money [E] and break [Gb] your [B] heart.
[Abm] Lonesome Sue, she's in love with old Sam.
[E] Take it from the [Abm] fire into the frying pan.
[E] On and on, she [Dbm] just keeps on trying.
[Gb] And she smiles [Db] when she [Ab] feels like crying.
[E] On and on, on [B] and on, on and [Abm]
on.
[B] Oh, Jimmy sits [Abm]
alone in the moonlight.
Saw his woman kiss [E]
another man.
[B] So he [Abm] takes a ladder, steals a star from the sky.
[E] Puts on [Gb] Sinatra [Abm] and starts to cry.
[E] On and on, [B] he just keeps on [E] trying.
[Gb] And he smiles when he [Ab] feels like crying.
[E] On and on, on [Gb] and on, [B] on and [Abm] on.
[E] When the person [Ebm] is last dying, [E] make you [Gb] feel [B] so bad.
But if you know it, [Ebm] show it.
[Abm] Hold [Db] on tight, don't [Gb] let her say [E] goodnight.
[Abm]
Got the sun on my shoulders and my toes in the [B] sand.
[Abm]
What has left me [E] forced by the [Abm] man?
Oh, but I don't care, I'll just dream and sit in.
Toss up my heart, but see where it [E] lands.
On and on, I just keep on trying.
[Gb] And I smile when [Ab] I feel like dying.
[E] On and on, on and [B] on, on and [Abm] on.
[Ab] On [E] and on, on [B] and on, on and [Abm] on.
[Ab] On [E] and on.
