JAMACA FAREWELL
6
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top F
I took a trip on a sailing ship
• And when ew reacnea Jamaca e C
made a stop
C
But I’m sad to say I’m on my way, won’t be back for nany a day
C
My heart is down, my head is turning around I had ot leave a little girl ni kingstontown
Sounds of laughter fi l l the air
And the dancing girls sway
to and fro
I must aeclare that my heart is there Tho’ I ‘ v e been from Maine to Mexico
** *
Down at the market you can near women cry out while on their heads they bear F
Ackey rice, salt fish are nice
And the rum is fine any time of year. ***

Strumming pattern/tempo is based off of this version of the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFFlWtlDRqk though you'll have to transpose to D (and tune sharp) because this tab appears to be written in a different key from any recording of the song. [Verse 1] G C Down away where nights are gay. G D7 G And the sunshine's daily on the mountain top. G C I took a trip on a sailing ship. G D7 G When I reached Jamaica I made a stop but I'm. [Chorus] G Am Sad to say I'm on my way. D7 G Won't be back for many a day. G Am My heart is down my head is turning around. G D7 G I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town. [Verse 2] G C Sounds of laughter everywhere. G D7 G And the dancing girls swaying to and fro. G C I must declare my heart is there, G D7 G though I've been from Maine to Mexico but I'm. [Chorus] G Am Sad to say I'm on my way. D7 G Won't be back for many a day. G Am My heart is down my head is turning around. G D7 G I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town. [Verse 3] G C Down at the market you can hear, G D7 G ladies cry out while on their heads they bear G C Akey rice salt fish are nice, G D7 G and the rum is fine anytime of year but I'm. [Chorus] G Am Sad to say I'm on my way. D7 G Won't be back for many a day. G Am My heart is down my head is turning around. G D7 G I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town.
