She was born in Dakota
C
Where she froze to death each winter
G7
But she dreamed about the islands
C
By the fire burning splinters
F
It was almost Jamaica
C
Almost paradise
G7
It was almost Jamaica
C
It was almost real nice
F
So she moved out on the border
C
With the sunshine but no sea breeze
G7
Though she could not drink the water
C
Some of the streets were lined with palm trees
F
It was almost Jamaica
C
Almost paradise
G7
It was almost Jamaica
C
It was almost real nice
F
Electric fan on the table
C
Shower is her waterfall
G7
She may never have Jamaica
C
But in her mind she has it all
F
It was almost Jamaica
C
Almost paradise
G7
It was almost Jamaica
C
It was almost real nice
F
She loved the hurricane warnings
C
And the tropical breeze
G7
She loves coconuts and love songs
C
With a little reggae please
F
It was almost Jamaica
C
Almost paradise
G7
It was almost Jamaica
C
It was almost real nice
F
It was almost Jamaica
C
Almost paradise
G7
It was almost Jamaica
C
It was almost real nice
F
It was almost Jamaica
C
Almost paradise
G7
It was almost Jamaica
C
It was almost real nice
