Intro:
EE/D#C#mBAVerse 1:
EAA/G#A/F#
Jamaica was the lovely one I played her well
F#mF#m7EB
As we lay in the tall grass where the shadows fell
EAA/G#A/F#
Hiding from the children so they would not tell
F#mF#m7B
We would stay there until her sister rang the evening bell
Chorus 1:
EE7AEE7A
Jamaica say you will help me find a way to fill these empty hours
EG#mC#mC#m/BBAA/G#A/F#E/G#B
Say you will come again tomorrow
Verse 2:
EAA/G#A/F#
The daughter of a captain on the rolling seas
F#mF#m7EB
She would stare across the water from the tree
EAA/G#A/F#
Last time he was home he held her on his knees
F#mF#m7B
And said the next time they would sail away just where they please
Chorus 2:
EE7AEE7A
Jamaica say you will help me find a way to fill these lifeless sails
EG#mC#mC#m/BBA/G#A/F#E/G#B
Stay un - til my ships can find the sea

EAA/G#A/F#
Jamaica was a sweet young one I loved her true
F#mBEB
She was a comfort and a mercy through and through
EAA/G#A/F#
Hiding from this world together next thing I knew
F#mF#m/BB
They had brought her things down to the bay what could I do
Chorus 3:
EE7AEE7A
Jamaica say you will help me find a way to fill these lifeless sails and then we'll

Sail un - til our waters have run dry
