    Verse 1
    beg 
    your 
    pardon 
    momma, 

    what 
    did 
    you 
    say? 

    My 
    mind 
    was 
    drifted 
    off 
    on 
    Martinique 
    Bay 

    It's 
    not 
    that 
    I'm 
    not 
    inte
    rested, 
    you 
    see 

    Augusta 
    Georgia 
    is 
    just 
    no 
    place 
    to 
    be 

    Chorus 1
    think 
    Jamaican 
    in 
    the 
    moonlight 

    Sandy 
    beaches, 
    drinkin' 
    rum 
    every 
    night 

    We 
    got 
    no 
    money, 
    momma, 
    but 
    we 
    can 
    go 

    We'll 
    split 
    the 
    difference 

    go 
    to 
    Coconut 
    Grove 

    Verse 2
    Keep 
    on 
    talkin', 
    momma, 
    can't 
    hear 

    Your 
    voice, 
    it 
    tickles 
    down 
    in
    side 
    of 
    my 
    ear 

    feel 
    tropical 
    va
    cation 
    this 
    year 

    Might 
    be 
    the 
    answer 
    to 
    this 
    hillbilly 
    beer 

    Chorus 2
    think 
    Jamaican 
    in 
    the 
    moonlight 

    Sandy 
    beaches, 
    drinkin' 
    rum 
    every 
    night 

    We 
    got 
    no 
    money, 
    momma, 
    but 
    we 
    can 
    go 

    We'll 
    split 
    the 
    difference 

    go 
    to 
    Coconut 
    Grove 

    Bridge 1
    Voila! 
    An 
    American 
    Dream 

    Well, 
    we 
    can 
    travel 
    girl, 
    with
    out 
    any 
    means 

    When 
    it's 
    as 
    easy 
    as 
    closin' 
    your 
    eyes 

    And 
    dream 
    Jamaica 
    is 
    big 
    neon 
    sign 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    Just 
    keep 
    talkin' 
    momma, 
    like 
    that 
    sound 

    It 
    goes 
    so 
    easy 
    with 
    that 
    rain 
    fallin' 
    down 

    think 
    tropical 
    va
    cation 
    this 
    year 

    Might 
    be 
    the 
    answer 
    to 
    this 
    hillbilly 
    beer, 

    Bridge 2
    and 

    Voila! 
    An 
    American 
    Dream 

    Yeah, 
    we 
    can 
    travel 
    girl, 
    with
    out 
    any 
    means 

    When 
    it's 
    as 
    easy 
    as 
    closin' 
    your 
    eyes 

    And 
    dream 
    Jamaica 
    is 
    big 
    neon

    Chorus 3
    Just

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
