Capo 3

  D                                    G 
I showed her most of Tennessee, that's all I could afford
A                             D                A 
I even thought of stealing so I could show her more
        D                          G  
But she never did seem happy and I often heard her say
       A                               D
Hey, I like it here but I love Montego Bay


Oh, I should have gone with her at least I wouldn't know
What about Montego Bay that makes it pull so strong
All I've got's a memory of the way she used to say
Hey, I like it here but I love Montego Bay

Chorus:
    G                            D
Why couldn't I convince her, why couldn't I make her see
D              B7          E7                  A        
There's no way Montego Bay needs her more than me
         D                                     G 
When she left she seemed so happy, I can still still hear her say
       A                               D  
Hey, I like it here but I love Montego Bay

Solo

Chorus
