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
        (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:
Verse 2 follows - which is basically the same then....
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:-
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.
