D                               G D    G D
  One, two, three and four and
 
[Verse 1]
D
Layin' back, sittin' in the sunshine
G                    D
Hot wind, I drink me little rum wine
D
Straw hat down across my eyes
G                    D
Lettin' the world go by
D
Music, it start my toes a tappin'
G              D
Drum beat, set my hands a clappin'
D
Rum wine, it get my head a spinnin'
G                   D
Turnin' around and 'round
 
[Chorus]
G                         D
Caribbean current, please take me
G                     D
I hear you callin' me home
G                    D
Got to get back to Jamaica
G                 D
I want no more to roam
G                         D
Caribbean current, please take me
G                     D
I hear you callin' me home
G                    D
Got to get back to Jamaica
 
[Verse 2]
D
Gypsy, she say I got the fever
G            D
I don't know whether to believe her
D
But when the wind blow from the sea
   G                  D
My soul start to fly away
D
She give me charm that will protect me
G                        D
Necklace with stone from far across the sea
D
But island magic much too strong
   G                    D
It won't let me go this time
 
[Chorus]
G                         D
Caribbean current, please take me
G                     D
I hear you callin' me home
G                    D
Got to get back to Jamaica
G                 D
I want no more to roam
G                         D
Caribbean current, please take me
G                     D
I hear you callin' me home
G                    D
Got to get back to Jamaica

G                    D
Got to get back to Jamaica
