Almost Jamaica

D G She was born in Dakota D Where she froze to death each winter A7 But she dreamed about the islands D By the fire burning splinters G It was almost Jamaica D Almost paradise A7 It was almost Jamaica D It was almost real nice G So she moved out on the border D With the sunshine but no sea breeze A7 Though she could not drink the water D Some of the streets were lined with palm trees G It was almost Jamaica D Almost paradise A7 It was almost Jamaica D It was almost real nice G Electric fan on the table D Shower is her waterfall A7 She may never have Jamaica D But in her mind she has it all G It was almost Jamaica D Almost paradise A7 It was almost Jamaica D It was almost real nice G She loved the hurricane warnings D And the tropical breeze A7 She loves coconuts and love songs D With a little reggae please G It was almost Jamaica D Almost paradise A7 It was almost Jamaica D It was almost real nice G It was almost Jamaica D Almost paradise A7 It was almost Jamaica D It was almost real nice G It was almost Jamaica D Almost paradise A7 It was almost Jamaica D It was almost real nice
