Check this out - apologies if any bits are wrong (but I've been told it was spot on!)


JIMMY BUFFETT: JAMAICA MISTACA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Intro:- Bm, A, Bm X2
~~~~~
	Bm, G, A (x02220@1)X2

	Bm, A, G, AX2 (x02220@1)
Verse:-
~~~~~

	Bm (x24432@1)    A (x02220@1)	   G (320003@1)	    A (x02220@1)	Some folks say that I've got the perfect life


	Bm (x24432@1)    A (x02220@1)               G (320003@1)               A (x02220@1)Three swell kids, lots of toys and alovely (x02210@1)wife


	(Basically thats it for the verses, just listen to
	the rhythm for when to change chords)

Interlude1 - the steel drum bit (do a "Misirlou" type picking here for the 1st time round)
~~~~~~~~~~   (the Pulp Fiction theme for those who don't know the song!)

	This bit is repeated twice by the steel drums:

	e|-------------------------------| (022000@1)	b|---3/7/3---3/5/2---2--0--2--3--| (x24432@1)(the / means slide)
	g|-------------------------------| (355333@1)  3 slide to 7 etc


Verse 2 follows - which is basically the same then....


	      G (320003@1)   A (x02220@1)D (xx0232@1)    A (x02220@1)    Bm (x24432@1)Come back, Come back,  Back to Jamaica

     G (320003@1)           A (x02220@1)     D (xx0232@1)    A (x02220@1)  Bm (x24432@1)Don't you know we made abig (x02210@1)mistaka

      G (320003@1)           A (x02220@1)D (xx0232@1)  A (x02220@1)   Bm (x24432@1)We'd be so sad, if you told us goodbye

		  G (320003@1)	F#m (244222@1)And we promise not to shoot you out of the sky

The interludey bit here is Bm, G, A X2 then Bm, A, G, A X2 which then goes back to the
verse structure. (Same as above) The slide bit follows then the chorus....

The fasty bit is next which is:-

Bm, A, G, F#m, F, D, F, F#m - try the tab here (the bass line) to get the basic rhythm of it:-

e |--------------------------------------------------------------|
b |--------------------------------------------------------------|
g |--------------------------------------------------------------|
d |--------------------------------------------------------------|
a |--------------------10--10--10--9--9--9--8--8--8--8--5--8--9--|
e |--7--7--7--5--5--5--------------------------------------------|

For the above bit - play the chords higher up on the fretboard.
Like the Bm on the 8th fret, the A on the 5th then the G on the 10th and F#m on the 9th etc etc..

I think the solos in B but I'll let ya know bout this later.

The end bit: Promise not to shoot you..... goes:

G, F#m, F, F#m, F, D, Bm - again, play this bit further down the fretboard.

AND THAT'S IT - I think.
