Key: D
Introduction:
D
Laid back, sittin' in the sunshine
G D
Hot wind, drink a little rum wine
D
Straw hat, down upon my eyes,
G A/G D
Watchin' the world go by.
D
Music, it start my toes a tappin',
G D
Drum beat, it set my hands a clappin',
D
Rum wine, it get my head a spinnin',
G A/G D
turnin' around and around.
G D
Carribean current please take me,
G D
I hear you callin' me home,
G D
Got to get back to Jamaica,
G D
I want to roam no more,
G D
Carribean current please take me,
G D
I hear you callin' me home,
G D
Got to get back to Jamaica,
( Fill-in Run )
D
Gypsy, she say I got the fever,
G D
I don't know whether to believe her,
D
But when the wind blow from the sea,
G A/G D
My soul start to fly away,
D
She give me charm that will protect me,
G D
Necklace with stone from far across the sea,
D
But island magic much too strong,
G A/G D
It won't let me go this time.
( CHORUS )
