Buffett Jimmy - Jamaica Mistaka guitar tab

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  X2

Bm, A, G, A X2

Verse:-

~~~~~

Bm     A    G     A

Some folks say that I've got the perfect life

Bm      A                 G                 A

Three swell kids, lots of toys and a lovely 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 |-------------------------------|

b |---3/7/3---3/5/2---2--0--2--3--| (the / means slide)

g |-------------------------------|   3 slide to 7 etc

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

      G     A D      A      Bm

Come back, Come back,  Back to Jamaica

     G             A       D      A    Bm  

Don't you know we made a big mistaka

      G             A D    A    Bm

We'd be so sad, if you told us goodbye

  G F#m

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.
