Tom: D
(D) Down the way where the (G) nights are gay
And the (A7) sun shines daily on the (D) mountain top
I took a trip on a (G) sailing ship
But when I (A7) reached Jamaica I (D) made a stop
Now I'm sad to say, I'm (Em7) on my way
(A7) I won't be back for (D) many a day
My heart is down my head is (Em7) turning around
I had to (A7) leave a little girl in (D) Kingston town
(D) Sounds of laughter (G) everywhere
And the (A7) dancing girls sway (D) to and fro
I must declare, my (G) heart is there
Though I've (A7) been from Maine to (D) Mexico
Now I'm sad to say, I'm (Em7) on my way
(A7) I won't be back for (D) many a day
My heart is down my head is (Em7) turning around
I had to (A7) leave a little girl in (D) Kingston town
(D) Down at the market (G) you can hear
(A7) Ladies cry out while on their (D) heads they bear
Ackev rice, salt (G) fish are nice
Oh, the (A7) rum is fine any (D) time of year
Now I'm sad to say, I'm (Em7) on my way
(A7) I won't be back for (D) many a day
My heart is down my head is (Em7) turning around
I had to (A7) leave a little girl in (D) Kingston town
(D) Down the way where the (G) nights are gay
And the (A7) sun shines daily on the (D) mountain top
I took a trip on a (G) sailing ship
But when I (A7) reached Jamaica I (D) made a stop
Now I'm sad to say, I'm (Em7) on my way
(A7) I won't be back for (D) many a day
My heart is down my head is (Em7) turning around
I had to (A7) leave a little girl in (D) Kingston town
Fade out...
