G (X8)

[Verse 1]
G
Every day I read ads in the paper
       D
Saying come to the island (come to the island)
D
Bikinied ladies sweet rum drinks
G
They'll keep you smiling (down in the island)
                                        C
I've got calypso music on the record at home
              D
When it comes to the warmth and the sunshine
              G
Well I got my own

[Chorus]
G
You're my Jamaica
                       C
You're where I want to be
            D                                      G
You're my island when I'm being tossed on a stormy sea
G
My heavenly haven
                          C
Where I could spend eternity
            D                        G
You're my Jamaica you're paradise to me

[Solo]
| G | D | D | G | G

[Verse 2]
G
While sunny sands palm trees and tans
D
It sounds so inviting (sounds so inviting)
D
Limbo dancing and starlight romancing
     G
It's all so exciting (come on down, come on down, come on down)
                                              C
I've got my flowery shirt and rum punch in my hand
       D                              G
And my own exotic lover and my native land

[Chorus]
G
You're my Jamaica
                       C
You're where I want to be
            D                                      G
You're my island when I'm being tossed on a stormy sea
G
My heavenly haven
                          C
Where I could spend eternity
            D                        G
You're my Jamaica you're paradise to me

[Chorus]
G
You're my Jamaica
                       C
You're where I want to be
            D                                      G
You're my island when I'm being tossed on a stormy sea
G
My heavenly haven
                          C
Where I could spend eternity
            D                        G
You're my Jamaica you're paradise to me

[Outro]
G
You're my Jamaica
                       C
You're where I want to be
            D                                      G
You're my island when I'm being tossed on a stormy sea
