Chorus 1 (after 1st, 2nd verse; then after 3rd chorus 2):
 D                      G 
I think Jamaica in the moonlight 

 A                      D             D7
Sandy beaches drinking rum every night
 
                          G 
We've got no money momma but we can go 

 A                                     D 
We'll split the difference  and go to Coconut grove 


Chorus 2 (after 2nd, 3rd verse):
 D          G 
Viola an American dream 

 A                     D            D7
We can travel girl without any means
 
                      G 
When it's as easy as closing your eyes
 
 A                      D 
And dream Jamaica is a big neon sign 
 

Outro:  
G  A  D
