G C Down away where nights are gay. G D7 G And the sunshine's daily on the mountain top. G C I took a trip on a sailing ship. G D7 G When I reached Jamaica I made a stop but I'm. G Am Chorus: Sad to say I'm on my way. D7 G Won't be back for many a day. G Am My heart is down my head is turning around. G D7 G I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town. G C Sounds of laughter everywhere. G D7 G And the dancing girls swaying to and fro. G C I must declare my heart is there, G D7 G though I've been from Maine to Mexico but I'm. G C Down at the market you can hear, G D7 G ladies cry out while on their heads they bare. G C Akey rice and fish are nice, G D7 G and the rum is fine anytime of year but I'm.

4 ukulele chords used in "Jamaica Farewell" by Harry Belafonte: Am, C, D7 and G
In the last line of the chorus, I play a G7 first instead of a C so it just goes from G7 to C. I find it much easier to sing to.
(I’m playing it +5, btw) =)
I found C, G and F to do the trick for Jamaica Farewell
Every “G” here becomes a C, “C” becomes an F and “D7” becomes a G
hey can we hang out next weekend and get to know each other
