JIMMY BUFFETT: JAMAICA MISTACA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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
BmThree sweAll kids, lots of toGys and a lovely wiAfe
(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....
Come bGack, CoAme baDck, BaAck to JBmamaica
Don\G't you know weA made a Dbig misAtaka Bm
We'Gd be so sad, iAf youD toldA us gooBmdbye
And Gwe promF#mise 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.
AND THAT'S IT - I think.
