[Intro] DMaj7 C#m7 CMaj7 BMaj7 (3x)
 
          BMaj7               Abm
Jamaica's away, away from the land that i am livin'
              C#m7
Away from the beach that got me goin'
              F#7
Away from the sound that came out within
 
          BMaj7        Abm
Jamaica's away, and my love is somewhere between
        C#m7
To seek love is never comin'
        F#7
And the music really got me missin
 
[Chorus]
BMaj7   Abm
Why.... why do i love the music
C#m7
why does it made it dancin'
        F#7
once it turns once it plays and my feet start to sway
BMaj7   Abm
why.... why people think i'm crazy
C#m7
why do they say i'm losin' my way
          F#7
it got me good got my mood not forgetting my root
 
DMaj7      C#m7  CMaj7  BMaj7
oh... it's in... my...  ear...
DMaj7     C#m7       CMaj7   BMaj7
oh...it's all.. that i...  hear...
 
[Rapp]
              BMaj7
Listen to the raindrops falling from the top
   Abm
my heart are still with the jamaica's appeal.
   C#m7
so calling reggae music the beat is in my hand
   F#7
my soul flyin' up instead....
     BMaj7
As I walk in the road I remember what they told me,
    Abm
the song i singin' and the rhythm i swingin',
C#m7
people are praying for the gold were stolen,
    F#7
but happy for what we're leavin'
 
[Chorus]
BMaj7   Abm
Why.... why do i love the music
C#m7
why does it made it dancin'
        F#7
once it turns once it plays and my feet start to sway
BMaj7   Abm
why.... why people think i'm crazy
C#m7
why do they say i'm losin' my way
          F#7
it got me good got my mood not forgetting my root
 
DMaj7      C#m7  CMaj7  BMaj7
oh... it's in... my...  ear...
DMaj7     C#m7       CMaj7   BMaj7
oh...it's all.. that i...  hear...
