lyrics

Boonas Want To Go Home Jez Lowe

(G) (C) (D) (G) (C) (D) (G) (Fj7) (C) (G)
(Fj7) (C) (G) (flageolet G, 12th fret)(hold)
(G)Family man, well, he (Fj7)wake up in England,
(C) His children listen him (G)pray,
Mighty Lord, shine down your (Fj7)sun on this island,
(C) Make the rain go a(G)way.

Oh it's (C)so (Am)long, the (G)lip of the Jamaican (Em)sun kiss them,
(C) Boonas (D)want to go (G)home.
Oh it's (C)so (Am)long, the (G)lip of the Jamaican (Em)sun kiss them,
(C) Boonas (D)want to go (G)home. (Fj7) (C) (G) (flageolet G, 12th fret)(hold)

(G)Here in a world of re(Fj7)ligions and races,
First (C)black skin this town ever (G)seen,
They watch us with eyes that see (Fj7)only coal faces,
(C) Can't your ma wash you (G)clean?

Oh it's (C)so (Am)long, the (G)lip of the Jamaican (Em)sun kiss them,
(C) Boonas (D)want to go (G)home.
Oh it's (C)so (Am)long, the (G)lip of the Jamaican (Em)sun kiss them,
(C) Boonas (D)want to go (G)home.
(Fj7) (C) (G) (flageolet G-note, 12th fret)(hold)

(G)Store-keeper sang me a (Fj7)Co-op calypso,
(C) Ain't this a mighty fine (G)land,
He talk to me in that (Fj7)Geordie-man lingo,
(C) Slang-jive I can't under(G)stand.

Oh it's (C)so (Am)long, the (G)lip of the Jamaican (Em)sun kiss them,
(C) Boonas (D)want to go (G)home.
Oh it's (C)so (Am)long, the (G)lip of the Jamaican (Em)sun kiss them,
(C) Boonas (D)want to go (G)home. (G7)

Missing the (C)tang on the tongue
Of them (Am7)oranges hung on green (G)hillside,(G7)
Lord can't you (C)tell my why
You paint a (A7)clean blue sky mucky (D)grey?(D7)
(G) (Fj7) (C) (G) (Fj7) (C) (G) (flageolet G, 12th fret)(hold)

(G)Family man thank the (Fj7)Lord for good money,
(C) He slowly get off his (G)knees,
He feed his children on the (Fj7)milk and the honey,
(C) And face a North England (G)freeze.

Oh it's (C)so (Am)long, the (G)lip of the Jamaican (Em)sun kiss them,
(C) Boonas (D)want to go (G)home.
Oh it's (C)so (Am)long, the (G)lip of the Jamaican (Em)sun kiss them,
(C) Boonas (D)want to go (G)home. (Fj7) (C) (G) (flageolet G, 12th fret)(hold)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
