(ver. 1)
Jackson Browne
Standard Tuning


INTRO:

E    E/Eb    Dbm     B      A



VERSE 1:

  E                           A             A/Ab   A/Gb
Jamaica was the lovely one I played her well
      Gbm                Gbm7                     E    B
As we lay in the tall grass where the shadows fell
E                                A             A/Ab   A/Gb
Hiding from the children so they would not tell
          Gbm                  Gbm7       B
We would stay there until her sister rang the evening bell



CHORUS 1:

         E  E7   A                  E   E7  A
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 
She would stare across the water  from the tree
E                                  A        A/Ab   A/Gb
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:

        E   E7  A                    E  E7   A
Jamaica say you will help me find a way to   fill these lifeless sails
E    Abm  Dbm  Dbm/B        B                  A/Ab  A/Gb  E/Ab   B
Stay un - til           my ships can find the sea



INTERLUDE:

A   A/Ab   A/Gb   Gbm   E    E7   A   E   A/Ab  A/Gb  Gbm   E   B



VERSE 3:

E                                 A          A/Ab  A/Gb
Jamaica was a sweet young one I loved her true
          Gbm              B                 E      B
She was a comfort and a mercy through and through
E                                  A              A/Ab   A/Gb
Hiding from this world together next thing I knew
         Gbm                              Gbm/B              B
They had brought her things down to the bay    what could I do



CHORUS 3:
        
         E   E7  A                   E  E7   A
Jamaica say you will help me find a way to  fill these lifeless sails and then we'll
E    Abm  Dbm  Dbm/B        B                  A/Ab  A/Gb  E/Ab   B   E
Sail un - til           our waters have run dry
