D                       G
I beg your pardon momma what did you say
A                         D
My mind was drifting on a Martinque day
                          G
It's not that I'm not interested you see
A                       D
Augusta Georgia is just no place to be
                       G
I think Jamaica in the moonlight
A                      D
Sandy beaches drinking rum every night
D                        G
We've got no money momma but we can go
A                                     D
We'll split the difference  and go to Coconut grove
D                          G
Just keep on talking momma I can hear
A                          D
Your voice it tickles down inside of my ear
D                 G
I feel a tropical vacation this year
A                           D
Might be the answer to this Hillbilly beer
                       G
I think Jamaica in the moonlight
A                      D
Sandy beaches drinking rum every night
D                        G
We've got no money momma but we can go
A                                     D
We'll split the difference  and go to Coconut grove
D            G
Viola an American dream
A                     D
We can travel girl without any means
D                    G
When it's as easy as closing your eyes
A                      D
And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign

SOLO

D                          G
Just keep on talking momma I like the sound
A                          D
It goes so good with that rain poring down
D                 G
I feel a tropical vacation this year
A                           D
Might be the answer to this Hillbilly beer
                       G
I think Jamaica in the moonlight
A                      D
Sandy beaches drinking rum every night
D                        G
We've got no money momma but we can go
A                                     D
We'll split the difference  and go to Coconut grove
D            G
Viola an American dream
A                     D
We can travel girl without any means
D                    G
When it's as easy as closing your eyes
A                      D
And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign
