Almost Jamaica - Bellamy Brothers
Verse 1:
[C] She was born in [F] Dakota
Where she froze to death each [C] winter
But she dreamed about the [G7] islands
By the fire burning [C] splinters
|[Chorus]
|It was almost [F] Jamaica
|Almost parad[C]ise
|It was almost [G7] Jamaica
|It was almost real [C] nice
Verse 2:
So she moved out on the [F] border
With the sunshine but no sea [C] breeze
Though she could not drink the [G7] water
Some of the streets were lined with [C] palm trees
[Chorus]
Verse 3:
Electric fan on the [F] table
Shower is her water[C]fall
She may never have [G7] Jamaica
But in her mind she has it [C] all
|[Chorus]
|It was almost [F] Jamaica
|Almost para[C]dise
|It was almost [G7] Jamaica
|It was almost real [C] nice
Verse 4:
She loved the hurricane [F] warnings
And the tropical [C] breeze
She loves coconuts and [G7] love songs
With a little reggae [C] please
|[Chorus] x3
|It was almost [F] Jamaica
|Almost para[C]dise
|It was almost [G7] Jamaica
|It was almost real [C] nice
