Jamaica Farewell

⬇ ⬇⬆ ⬆⬇⬆

D | G | A7 | D :|

    Down the way where the nights are gay
    And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
    I took a trip on a sailing ship
    And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

    <Chorus>

    But I'm sad to say I'm on my way
    Won't be back for many a day
    My heart is down, my head is turning around
    I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

    Down the market you can hear
    Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear
    'Akey' rice, salt fish are nice
    And the rum is fine any time of year

    <Chorus>

    Sounds of laughter everywhere
    And the dancing girls sway to and fro
    I must declare my heart is there
    Though I've been from Maine to Mexico

    <chorus>
    Down the way where the nights are gay
    And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
    I took a trip on a sailing ship
    And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop

    <chorus> x2

I wanna be like you

G7 C | C | A7 D7 | G7 | C

    Now Im the king of the swingers oh the jungle VIP
    I've reached the top and had to stop and thats what bothering me
    I wanna be a man mancub and stroll right into town
    And be just like the other men I'm tired of monkeyin around

    <Chorus>

    Oh oobee doo i wanna be like you
    I wanna walk like you talk like you too
    You'll see it's true an ape like me
    Can learn to be human too

    Now don't try to kid me mancub i made a deal with you
    What i desire is mans red fire to make my dream come true
    Give me the secret mancub clue me what to do
    Give me the power of mans red flower so i can be like you

    <Chorus>

    <Intro>
    One, one, one...

 Am | F |

    <Verse>:
    Talkin' in my sleep at night
    Makin' myself crazy
    -Out of my mind, out of my mind-
    Wrote it down and read it out
    Hopin' it would save me
    -Too many times, too many times-
    My love, he makes me feel like nobody else
    Nobody else
    But my love, he doesn't love me, so I tell myself
    I tell myself

    <Pre-Chorus>

Am | F | G

    One, don't pick up the phone
    You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone
    Two, don't let him in
    You'll have to kick him out again
    Three, don't be his friend
    You know you're gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
    And if you're under him, you ain't getting over him

    <Chorus>:

Am | F | G

    I got new rules, I count 'em
    I got new rules, I count 'em
    I gotta tell them to myself
    I got new rules, I count 'em
    I gotta tell them to myself

    <Verse>:

Am | F | G

    I keep pushin' forwards, but he keeps pullin' me backwards
    -Nowhere to turn- no way
    -Nowhere to turn- no
    Now I'm standing back from it, I finally see the pattern
    -I never learn, I never learn-
    But my love, he doesn't love me, so I tell myself
    I tell myself
    I do, I do, I do

    <Pre-Chorus> <chorus><Bridge>

    Practice makes perfect
    I'm still tryna' learn it by heart
    -I got new rules, I count 'em-
    Eat, sleep, and breathe it
    Rehearse and repeat it, 'cause I
    -I got new, I got new, I...-

    <Pre-Chorus> <Chorus>

    <Outro>
    Don't let him in, don't let him in
    Don't, don't, don't, don't
    Don't be his friend, don't be his friend
    Don't, don't, don't, don't
    Don't let him in, don't let him in
    Don't, don't, don't, don't
    Don't be his friend, don't be his friend
    Don't, don't, don't, don't
    You gettin' over him
