Jamaica Farewell Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Down the way
Where the [F]nights are gay
And [G]the sun shines daily on the [C]mountaintop
I took a trip on [F]a sailing ship
And when I [C]reached Ja
[G]maica I [C]made a stop
But 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
La la la
La la
[F]La la la
La la [C]la la
[G]La la la[C]
Down at the market [F]you can hear
Ladies [G]cry out while on their
[C]heads they bear
Ackee, rice, salt, [F]fish are nice
And the [C]rum [G]is fine any [C]time o'f year
But 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
La la la la
La [F]la la la
La la
[C]La [G]la la la [C]la
Sounds of laughter [F]everywhere
And the [G]dancing girls dance [C]to and fro
I must declare my [F]heart is there
Though I've [C]been from [G]Maine to [C]Mexico
But 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
[F]La... [C]La[G][C]
