Jamaica was the lovely one I played her well

Jamaica say you will help me find a way to fill these empty hours
E Abm Dbm Dbm/B B A A/Ab A/Gb E/Ab B
Say you will come again tomorrow
VERSE 2:
E A A/Ab A/Gb
The daughter of a captain on the rolling seas
Gbm Gbm7 E B

Last time he was home he held her on his knees
Gbm Gbm7 B
And said the next time they would sail away just where they please
CHORUS 2:

Sail un - til our waters have run dry
