2nd Verse

The daughter of a captain on the rolling sea

She would stare across the water from the tree

Last time he was home he held her on his knee

Said the next time they would sail away

Just where they pleased

Jamaica say you will, help me find

A way to fill, these lifeless sails

And stay until my ships cab find the sea

Fill

3rd Verse

Jamaica was a sweet young one, and I loved her true

She was a comfort and a mercy through and through

Hiding from this world togethor, next thing I knew

She had brought her things, down to the bay

What could I do

Jamaica say you will, help me find

A way to fill, these sails

And then we'll sail until our waters have run dry

Repeat Intro to end.

Because this song was written on the piano, it doesn't

translate easily. I have also played it with a capo on the

third fret (E chord gets fingered as a C etc.), but I like the

depth of the bass runs better in the first position.

Enjoy.
