[F#m]
[E] She was born in Dakota, [F#] where she [E] froze to death each winter.
But she [B] dreamed about the island, [F#] by the fire [E] burning splinter.
It was [A] almost Jamaica, [F#]
[E] almost paradise.
It was [B] almost Jamaica, it was [E] almost real nice.
So she moved out [A] on the board, [F#] with the [E] sunshine but no seaweed.
Though she [B] could not drink the water, some of the streets were [E] lined with palm trees.
It was [A] almost Jamaica, [F#m]
[E] almost paradise.
It was [B] almost Jamaica, it [F#] was [E] almost real nice.

[E] Electric [A] fan on the table, shower is [E] her waterfall.
She may [B] never have Jamaica, but in her [F#] mind she has [E] it all.
[C#m] [E] And it was [A] almost Jamaica, [F#] almost [E] paradise.
It was [B] almost Jamaica, it was [E] almost real nice.

[E] She loved [A] the hurricane warnings, and the [E] tropical breeze.
She loved [B] coconuts and love songs, with a little [E] reggae please.
It was [A] almost Jamaica, [E] almost paradise.
It was [B] almost [A] Jamaica, [B] it was [E] almost real nice.
