[Verse 1]
G                    D          Em           C
From Port Royal to Le Roy I am yours Jamaica Lady
G          D               C  D
My heart is sinking like a stone
          G           D             Em             C
You have lived in my soul Fair thee well, Jamaica Lady
  G          D                         G
It is the saddest fair well I've ever known
 
G              C
There'll be a boat out on the tide
                     G
When the moon is rising
                     D
Sailing at break of day
 C                        G
Riding on the warm trade winds
 
  G      C
I'll be staring with half dim eyes
             G
At the blue horizon
                      D
Standing on a lonely island
 C    C/B              Am   G
Pretty sails slowly fade away
 
 
[Chorus]
G  D  Em C
Bye bye Jamaica Lady
 G  D  Em C
Bye bye Jamaica Lady
                G  D
Have you ever seen the beauty of a sailing ship?
    Em C
Simple easy motion
 G  D  Em C
Bye bye Jamaica Lady
 C    C/B              Am   G
Bye bye pretty Sail slowly fade away
 
 
[Verse 2]
G                    D          Em           C
From Port Royal to Le Roy I am yours Jamaica Lady
G          D               C  D
My heart is sinking like a stone
            G           D             Em             C
You have lived in my soul Fair thee well, Jamaica Lady
   G          D                         G
It is the saddest fair well I've ever known
