  E  A E  A  E  A
|  |    |  |  |  |
[Chorus]
          A        E      A
There's a new moon over Jamaica
        D                           A
And the New Year just got here, you see
          D               A
There's a new moon over Jamaica
        A              E       A
And I'm living with an old memory
[Verse]
   E                        A
So won't you come back to Jamaica?
E                    A
You know it isn't so far
     B                       E
Look up in the sky where you left me that night
        B                         E
I'll be standing right under that star
[Chorus]

There's a new moon over Jamaica

And the New Year just got here, you see
          D               A
There's a new moon over Jamaica
        A              E       A
And I'm living with an old memory
[Verse]
E                      A
I said good evening to Venus
E                     A
She said good evening too
B                        E
Out there somewhere, you know I could swear
B                     E
She sent a message of true love from you
[Chorus]
          A        E      A
There's a new moon over Jamaica
        D                           A
And the New Year just got here, you see
          D               A
There's a new moon over Jamaica
        A              E       A
And I'm living with an old memory
[Verse]
  E                           A
A new moon makes someone feel happy
  E                          A
A new moon makes someone lovesick
    B                    E
I'm thinking of you, but what can I do?
B                           E                E7
New moons and New Years and old love's don't mix
[chorus] (+ coda)
          A        E      A
There's a new moon over Jamaica
        D                           A
And the New Year just got here, you see
          D               A
There's a new moon over Jamaica
        A              E       F#m  D
And I'm living with an old memory
