[A] [D] My mind was drifting off on Martinique Bay. [D] [G] It's not that I'm not interested, you see; [A] [D] Augusta, Georgia is just no place to be. [D] I think Jamaican in the [G]moonlight.

[D] When it's as easy as [G]closing your eyes [A] And dream Jamaica is a [D]big neon sign. [D] Just think Jamaican in the [G]moonlight. [A] Sandy beaches, drinking [D]rum every night.
