Jamaica Farewell Ukulele

(ver. 2)
Harry Belafonte
D                      G
 Down the way where the nights are gay?             
        A7                      D
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top?
D                    G
  I took a trip on a sailing ship?                   
           A7                D
And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop??

chorus
        D              G
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way?
A7                  D
  Won't be back for many a day
   D                         G
?My heart is down, my head is turning around?
         A7                     D
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

??D                 G
Sounds of laughter everywhere?
        A7                    D
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro?
D                 G
I must declare my heart is there?
            A7                 D
Though I've been from Maine to Mexico??

       D               G      
??But i'm sad to say I'm on my way?
A7                D
Won't be back for many a day?
    D                        G
My heart is down, my head is turning around?
         A7                     D
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town??

D-G-A7-D x2

D                  G
Down at the market you can hear?

A7                            D
Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear?
D                  G
'Akey' rice, salt fish are nice?
A7                      D
And the rum is fine any time of year??

        D              G
But I'm sad to say I'm on my way?
A7             D
Won't be back for many a day? 
    D                G
My heart is down, my head is turning around?
          A7                    D
I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
