[G]
Long time ago, when I was a young boy, I saw that moon moving near me on the mountain,
[C] staring my [D] eyes [G] wide and running, [Am] and I felt a yearning [D] for that great adventure.
[G]
So many nights I woke up, out of a dream, a dream of blue [C] seas, white [G] sand, fairy-tale
birds, [Am] black-and-white, and [D] beautiful world around me.
[G] Son of Jamaica, the dream from my life, [D] [C] how lovely [G] my sweet land [Am] will [D] be.
[G] Son of Jamaica, blue-gray, my life, [C] someday
[G] I'll return, [Am] wait and see.
[D] All day I stand, [G] and I'm happy with you, [D] we shall be loving [G] and true.
Oh, [Em] what should [G] love not like her, [Em] with all her [G] love, I [C] will always [G] be faithful [F] and true.
[C] [D] Yeah, true.
[A]
Now, as I grew older, this burning desire became so strong that I [E] bought me [D] a ticket to fly around.
[E] [A] And then [B] I found you, and we fell [E] in eternal love right from [A] the beginning.
Stars falling down [E] from the [A] sleepy lagoon, palms swaying under the [E] moon, [D] and we're swimming
[Em] out into [A] the calm, crystal sea.
[Bm] In that faithful [E] night, I thought to [A] myself, I'll [E] do [A] everything I can, save up every dime,
[E] [A] and one day [D] I'll return, [A] come back home to you, [E] and then [Bm] I'll stay forever, [E] forever.
