[Verse]
E C#m7 E C#m7 E C#m7 F#m7 F#7sus4
Down in Jamaica they got lots of pretty women, take all your lovin' then they break your heart
E C#m7 E C#m7 F#m7 F#7sus4 E C#m7
Lonesome Sue, she's in love with ol' Sam, Take him from the fire into the fryin' pan
[Chorus]
F#m7 F#7sus
On and on he just keeps on trying
Emaj7 C#7sus G#7 F#m7 F#7sus E C#m7 E C#m7
and he smiles when he feels like crying on and on, on and on, on and on
[Verse]
E C#m7 E C#m7 E C#m7 F#m7 F#7sus4
Poor ol' Jimmy he sits all alone in the moonlight, Saw his woman kiss another man
E C#m7 E C#m7 F#m7 F#7sus4 E C#m7
So he takes up a ladder, steals a star from the sky, Puts on some Marley and starts to cry
[Chorus]
F#m7 F#7sus
On and on he just keeps on trying
Emaj7 C#7sus G#7 F#m7 F#7sus E C#m7 E C#m7
and he smiles when he feels like crying on and on, on and on, on and on
[Bridge]
Amaj7 G#m7 F#m7 F#7sus Emaj7
Well my first time is my last time, It can make me feel so bad
Amaj7 G#m7 C#m7 F#7 F#7sus E C#m7 E C#m7 E C#m7 E C#m7
But if you know it go on and show it Hold on tight don't let her say Goodnight
[Verse]
E C#m7 E C#m7 E C#m7 E C#m E C#m7 F#m7 F#7sus4
Got the sun on my shoulders got my toes in the sand, My woman's left me for some other man
E C#m7 E C#m7 F#m7 F#7sus4 E C#m7
but I don't really care, I've done all I can, Toss up my heart and see where it lands
[Outro]
F#m7 F#7sus Emaj7 C#7sus G#7 F#m7 F#7sus E C#m7 E C#m7
On and on I just keep on trying and I smile when I feel like crying, On and on, on and on, on and on
F#m7 F#7sus Emaj7 C#7sus G#7 F#m7 F#7sus E C#m7 E C#m7
On and on I just keep on trying I smile though I feel like crying, On and on, on and on, on and on
E C#m7 E C#m7 E C#m7 E C#m7
ooohhh oohhh oohh (Fade)
