The Byrds Jamaica Say You Willwritten by Jackson Browne

G G/F# Em D C

G C C/B C/A

Jamaica was the lovely one I played her well

Am Am7 D G D

As we lay in the tall grass where the shadows fell

G C C/B C/A

Hiding from the children so they would not tell

Am Am7 D

We would stay there untill her sister rang the evening bell

G G7 C G G7 C

Jamaica say you will help me find a way to fill these empty hours

G Bm Em Em/D D C C/B C/A G/B D

Say you will come again tomorrow

D7 G C C/B C/A

The daughter of a captain on the rolling seas

Am Am7 D G D

She would stare across the water from the tree

G C C/B C/A

Last time he was home he held her on his knees

Am Am7 D

And said the next time they would sail away just where they please

G G7 C G G7 C

Jamaica say you will help me find a way to fill these lifeless sails

G Bm Em Em/D D C C/B C/A

Stay untill my ships can find the sea

C C/B C/A Am G G7 C G C/B C/A Am G D

G C C/B C/A

Jamaica was a sweet young one I loved her true

Am Am D G D

She was a comfort and a mercy thru and thru

G C C/B C/A

Hiding from this world together next thing I knew

Am Am7/D D

They had brought her things down to the bay what could I do

G G7 C G G7 C

Jamaica say you will help me find a way to fill these sails and then

we'll

G Bm Em Em/D D C C/B C/A G

Sail untill our waters have run dry
