Long time ago, when I was a young boy, I saw that moving youth beyond the mountains, [C]
staring
my idol [G] bad and [Am] grumpy, 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 seas, [C]
white sand, [G] paradise
birds, [Am] butterflies, and [D] beautiful warm hardwood.

[D] [G]
I saw a young girl, a young girl of Jamaica, blue lady, my Laika, [C]
someday [G] I'll return,
wait [Am]
and see.
[D]
Solid as sand and [G]
unhappy as you, [D]
we shall be loving [G] and true.
Oh, [Em] I shall love [G] my Laika [Em] with all of [G] my heart, I [C]
will always [G] be faithful [F] and true, [D] yes you.
[A]
And now as I grew older, this burning desire became so strong that I brought me [D] a chicken
to fly with.
[A] And then I found [B] you, and we fell [E] in eternal love right from [A] the beginning.
Stars falling down from the sleepy lagoon, palms swaying under the moon, [D]
and we swimming
out [A] into the calm crystal [Bm] sea.
In that faithful [E] night, I thought to [A] myself, I'll do everything I can, save up every dime,
and one day [D] I'll return, [A] come back home to you, and then [Bm] I'll stay forever, [E] forever.
[A]
Son of Jamaica, the dreams of my Laika, [D] I'll make [A] my sweet [Bm]
memories.

Son of Jamaica, blue lady, my Laika, [D]

Oh, [F#m] I shall love [A] my Laika [F#m] with all of [A] [D]
my heart, I [A] will always be faithful [G] and true, yes [E]
you.
