Jamaica Farewell Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
Down [C]the way where the [F]nights are gay
And the [G]sun shines daily
on the [C]mountaintop
I took a trip on a [F]sailing ship
And when I [G]reached Jamaica
I [C]made a stop
But I'm sad to say, I'm [Dm]on my way,
[G]Won't be back for [C]many a day,
Me heart is down,
me head is [Dm]turning around,
I had to [G]leave a little girl in [C]Kingston town
Down by the market
[F]you can hear a lady [G]cry out
while on their [C]heads they fell
Khaki rice or [F]fish are nice
and the [G]rum is fine any [C]time of year
And I'm sad to say I'm [Dm]on my way,
[G]won't be back for man[C]y a day
Me heart is down,
me head is [Dm]turning around
I had to [G]leave a little girl in
King[C]ston town
Sounds of laughter [F]everywhere
and the [G]dancing girls sway [C]to and fro
I must declare that my [F]heart is there
Though I've [G]been from Maine to [C]Mexico
and I'm sad to say I'm [Dm]on my way
[G]Won't be back for [C]many a day
Me heart is down,
me head is [Dm]turnin' around
I had to [G]leave a little girl in [C]King
ston [Dm]town[G][C]
Down the way where the [F]nights are gay
And the [G]sun shines daily
on the [C]mountain top
I took a trip on a [F]sailing ship
And when I [G]reached Jamaica
I [C]made a stop
But I'm sad to say I'm [Dm]on my way
[G]Won't be back for [C]many a day
Me heart is down,
me head is [Dm]turning around
I had to [G]leave our little girl
in [C]Kingston Town
[G]Oh leave our [Dm]little [G]girl in [C]Kingston Town
[D]Leave our [G]little girl in King
[C]ston Town
