Jamaica Farewell Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F]
[C]

[Verse 1]
Down the way Where [F]the
nights are gay
And the [G]sun shines daily
on the [C]mountaintop
I took a trip on [F]a sailing ship
And when I [G]reached Jamaica I [C]made a stop

[Verse 2]
But [C]I'm sad to say I'm [F]on my way
[G]Won't be back for man[C]y a day
My heart is down
My head is [F]turning around
I had to [G]leave a little girl in
[C]Kingston town

[Verse 3]
Sounds of laughter every[F]where
And the dan[G]cing girls swing to and fro
I must declare my [C]heart is there
Though I've been [F]from
Maine [G]to [C]Mexico

[Verse 4]
But [C]I'm sad to say I'm [F]on my way
[G]Won't be back for man[C]y a day
My heart is down
My head is [F]turning around
I had to [G]leave a little girl
in [C]Kingston [Ab]town

[Verse 5]
[Db]Down at the [Gb]market you can hear
[Ab]Ladies cry out while [Db]on their
heads they bear
Ackee, rice, [Gb]salt, fish are nice
[Ab]And the rum is fine any time [Db]o' year

[Verse 6]
But I'm [Db]sad to say I'm o[Gb]n my way
[Ab]Won't be back for many[Db] a day
My heart is down
My head is [Gb]turning around
I had to [Ab]leave a little girl in [Db]Kingston town
Down the way Where the nights are gay

[Verse 7]
[Db]And the sun shines
daily on the
mountaintop
I took a trip on a sailing ship
And when I reached Jamaica
I made a stop

[Verse 8]
But I'm sad to [Gb]say I'm on my way
[Ab]Won't be back for many[Db] a day
My heart is down
My head is [Gb]turning around
I had to [Ab]leave a little girl in [Db]Kingston town

[Verse 9]
[Db]Sad to say I'm o[Gb]n my way
[Ab]Won't be back for many a day
My heart is down
My head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.
