Some folks say that I've got the perfect life
Three swell kids, lots of toys and a lovely wife
I fly, I sail, I throw caution to the wind
Drift like a stratus cloud above the Caribbean
But every now and then, the dragons come to call
Just when you least expect it you'll be dodgin' cannonballs
I've seen too much not to stay in touch
With a world full of love and luck
I've got a big suspicion 'bout ammunition
I never forget to duck
Come back, come back back to Jamaica
Don't chu know we made a big mistaica
We'd be so sad if you told us good-bye
And we promise not to shoot you out of the sky
It was a beautiful day, the kind you want to toast
We were tree top flyin' movin' west along the coast
Then we landed in the water, just about my favorite thrill
When some asshole started firing as we taxied to Negril
Just about to lose my temper as I endeavored to explain
We had only come for chicken we were not a ganja plane
Well, you should have seen their faces when they finally realized
We were not some coked up cowboy sporting guns and alibis
Come back, come back back to Jamaica
Don't chu know we made a big mistaica
We'd be so sad if you told us good-bye
And we promise not to shoot you out of the sky
They shot from the lighthouse, they shot from highway
They shot from the top of the cliff, they had all gone haywire
We're catchin' fire, and there wasn't even a spliff
Well, the word got out all over the island
Friends, strangers, they were all apologizin'
Some thought me crazy foe being way too nice
But it's just another shitty day in paradise
Come back, come back back to Jamaica
Don't chu know we made a big mistaica
We'd be so sad if you told us good-bye
And we promise not to shoot you out of the sky

version 2
Capo:no capo
Intro:- Bm, A, Bm X2
~~~~~
Bm, G, A X2
Bm, A, G, A X2
Verse:-
~~~~~
Bm A G A
Some folks say that I\'ve got the perfect life
Bm A G A
Three swell kids, lots of toys and a lovely wife
(Basically thats it for the verses, just listen to
the rhythm for when to change chords)
Interlude1 - the steel drum bit (do a \"Misirlou\" type picking here for the 1st
time round)
~~~~~~~~~~ (the Pulp Fiction theme for those who don\'t know the song!)
This bit is repeated twice by the steel drums:
e |-------------------------------|
b |---3/7/3---3/5/2---2--0--2--3--| (the / means slide)
g |-------------------------------| 3 slide to 7 etc
Verse 2 follows - which is basically the same then....
G A D A Bm
Come back, Come back, Back to Jamaica
G A D A Bm
Don\'t you know we made a big mistaka
G A D A Bm
We\'d be so sad, if you told us goodbye
G F# F#7
And we promise not to shoot you out of the sky
The interludey bit here is Bm, G, A X2 then Bm, A, G, A X2 which then goes back
to the
verse structure. (Same as above) The slide bit follows then the chorus....
The fasty bit is next which is:-
Bm, A, G, F#m, F, D, F, F#m - try the tab here (the bass line) to get the basic
rhythm of it:-
e |--------------------------------------------------------------|
b |--------------------------------------------------------------|
g |--------------------------------------------------------------|
d |--------------------------------------------------------------|
a |--------------------10--10--10--9--9--9--8--8--8--8--5--8--9--|
e |--7--7--7--5--5--5--------------------------------------------|
For the above bit - play the chords higher up on the fretboard.
Like the Bm on the 8th fret, the A on the 5th then the G on the 10th and F#m on
the 9th etc etc..
I think the solos in B but I\'ll let ya know bout this later.
The end bit: Promise not to shoot you..... goes:
G, F#m, F, F#m, F, D, Bm - again, play this bit further down the fretboard
Some folks say that I've got the perfect life
Three swell kids, lots of toys and a lovely wife
I fly, I sail, I throw caution to the wind
Drift like a stratus cloud above the Caribbean
But every now and then, the dragons come to call
Just when you least expect it you'll be dodgin' cannonballs
I've seen too much not to stay in touch
With a world full of love and luck
I've got a big suspicion 'bout ammunition
I never forget to duck
Come back, come back back to Jamaica
Don't chu know we made a big mistaica
We'd be so sad if you told us good-bye
And we promise not to shoot you out of the sky
It was a beautiful day, the kind you want to toast
We were tree top flyin' movin' west along the coast
Then we landed in the water, just about my favorite thrill
When some asshole started firing as we taxied to Negril
Just about to lose my temper as I endeavored to explain

Come back, come back back to Jamaica
Don't chu know we made a big mistaica
We'd be so sad if you told us good-bye
And we promise not to shoot you out of the sky
They shot from the lighthouse, they shot from highway
They shot from the top of the cliff, they had all gone haywire
