[D] [G] [A] [D] [D] [G] [A] [Bm] [G] [A]

I [D]be[G]g your pardon, mama, what did you say?
My[A] m[D]ind was drifting off on Martinique Bay.
It[D]'s[G] not that I'm not interested, you see;
Au[A]gu[D]sta, Georgia is just no place to be.

  [D] I[G] think Jamaican in the  moonlight.
  [A] S[D]andy beaches, drinking  rum every night.
  [D] W[G]e got no money, mama,  but we can go;
  [A] W[D]e'll split the difference, go to  Coconut Grove.

  [D]  [G]Keep on talking, mama,  I can't hear.
  [A]  [D]Your voice, it tickles down in side of my ear.
  [D]  [G]I feel a tropical vac ation this year,
  [A]  [D]Might be the answer to this  hillbilly fear.

  [D]  [G]I think Jamaican in the  moonlight.
  [A]  [D]Sandy beaches, drinking  rum every night.

  [D]  [G]We got no money, mama,  but we can go;
  [A]  [D]We'll split the difference, go to  Coconut Grove.

  [D]  [G]Voila!  An A merican Dream.
  [A]  [D]Well, we can travel girl, with out any means.
  [D]  [G]When it's as easy as  closing your eyes
  [A]  [D]And dream Jamaica is a  big neon sign.

  [D]  [G]Just keep talking, mama,  I like that sound.
  [A]  [D]It goes so easy with that  rain falling down.
  [D]  [G]I think a tropical vac ation this year,
  [A]  [D]Might be the answer to this  hillbilly fear.

  [D]  [G]Voila!  An A merican Dream.
  [A]  [D]Yeah, we can travel girl, with out any means.
  [D]  [G]When it's as easy as  closing your eyes
  [A]  [D]And dream Jamaica is a  big neon sign.

  [D]  [G]Just think Jamaican in the  moonlight.
  [A]  [D]Sandy beaches, drinking  rum every night.
  [D]  [G]We got no money, mama,  but we can go;
  [A]  [D]Split the difference, go to  Coconut Grove.
