VERSE 1:
E A A/Ab A/Gb
Jamaica was the lovely one I played her well
Gbm Gbm7 E B
As we lay in the tall grass where the shadows fell
E A A/Ab A/Gb
Hiding from the children so they would not tell
Gbm Gbm7 B
We would stay there until her sister rang the evening bell
CHORUS 1:
E E7 A E E7 A
Jamaica say you will help me find a way to fill these empty hours
E Abm Dbm Dbm/B B A A/Ab A/Gb E/Ab B
Say you will come again tomorrow
VERSE 2:
E A A/Ab A/Gb
The daughter of a captain on the rolling seas
Gbm Gbm7 E B
She would stare across the water from the tree
E A A/Ab A/Gb
Last time he was home he held her on his knees
Gbm Gbm7 B
And said the next time they would sail away just where they please
CHORUS 2:
E E7 A E E7 A
Jamaica say you will help me find a way to fill these lifeless sails
E Abm Dbm Dbm/B B A/Ab A/Gb E/Ab B
Stay un - til my ships can find the sea

Jamaica was a sweet young one I loved her true
Gbm B E B
She was a comfort and a mercy through and through
E A A/Ab A/Gb
Hiding from this world together next thing I knew
Gbm Gbm/B B
They had brought her things down to the bay what could I do
CHORUS 3:
E E7 A E E7 A
Jamaica say you will help me find a way to fill these lifeless sails and then we'll
E Abm Dbm Dbm/B B A/Ab A/Gb E/Ab B E
Sail un - til our waters have run dry
