INTRO: A5   D5  E5
 
                  D5 
She was born in Dakota 
                               A5 
Where she froze to death each winter 
                            E5 
But she dreamed about the islands 
                      A5 
By the fire burning splinters 
 
CHORUS: 
                 D5 
It was almost Jamaica 
          A5 
Almost paradise 
                E5 
It was almost Jamaica 
               A5 
It was almost real nice 
 
So she moved out on the border 

With the sunshine but no sea breeze 

Though she could not drink the water 

Some of the streets were lined with palm trees 
 
CHORUS 
 
SOLO: 
D5  A5  E5  A5 
 

Electric fan on the table 

Shower is her waterfall 

She may never have Jamaica 

But in her mind she has it all 
 
CHORUS 
 
SOLO: 
D5  A5  E5
 
 
She loved the hurricane warnings 

And the tropical breeze 

She loves coconuts and love songs 

With a little reggae please 
 
CHORUS 
 
SOLO: 
D5  A5  E5  A5 
 
 
CHORUS (3x)
