Almost Jamaica

INTRO: A   D  E/

                  D
She was born in Dakota
                               A
Where she froze to death each winter
                            E
But she dreamed about the islands
                      A
By the fire burning splinters


CHORUS:
                 D
It was almost Jamaica
          A
Almost paradise
                E
It was almost Jamaica
               A
It was almost real nice


So she moved out on the border
With the sunshine but no sea breeze
Though she could not drink the water
Some of the streets were lined with palm trees


CHORUS


SOLO: D  A  E  A


Electric fan on the table
Shower is her waterfall
She may never have Jamaica
But in her mind she has it all


CHORUS


SOLO: D  A  E/


She loved the hurricane warnings
And the tropical breeze
She loves coconuts and love songs
With a little reggae please


CHORUS


SOLO: D  A  E  A


CHORUS (3x)
