[D] [G] [A] [D] [D] [G] [A] [Em] [G] [A] (4 beats of each chord)
[D] I beg your pardon, mama, [G] what did you say?
[A] My mind was drifting off on [D] Martinique Bay.
[D] It's not that I'm not inte-[G]rested, you see;
[A] Augusta, Georgia is just [D] no place to be.
[D] I think Jamaican in the [G] moonlight.
[A] Sandy beaches, drinking [D] rum every night.
[D] We got no money, mama, [G] but we can go;
[A] We'll split the difference, go to [D] Coconut Grove.
[D] Keep on talking, mama, [G] I can't hear.
[A] Your voice, it tickles down [D] inside of my ear.
[D] I feel a tropical va-[G]cation this year,
[A] Might be the answer to this [D] hillbilly beer.
[D] I think Jamaican in the [G] moonlight.
[A] Sandy beaches, drinking [D] rum every night.
[D] We got no money, mama, [G] but we can go;
[A] We'll split the difference, go to [D] Coconut Grove.
[D] Voila! An [G] American Dream.
[A] Well, we can travel girl, with-[D]out any means.
[D] When it's as easy as [G] closing your eyes
[A] And dream Jamaica is a [D] big neon sign.
[D] [G] [A] [D] [D] [G] [A] [Em] [G] [A] (4 beats of each chord) (like intro)
[D] Keep on talking, mama, [G] I like that sound.
[A] It goes so easy with [D]that rain falling down
[D] I feel a tropical va-[G]cation this year,
[A] Might be the answer to this [D] hillbilly beer.
[D] Voila! An [G] American Dream.
[A] Well, we can travel girl, with-[D]out any means.
[D] When it's as easy as [G] closing your eyes
[A] And dream Jamaica is a [D] big neon sign.
[D] Just think Jamaican in the [G] moonlight.
[A] Sandy beaches, drinking [D] rum every night.
[D] We got no money, mama, [G] but we can go;
[A] We'll split the difference, go to [D] Coconut Grove.
