Intro

 guitar intro: (2X)

I’ve been to Jamaica a lot , I’ve seen the pretty women there

I’ve been to China, Oh nothing quite compares

I’ve been to New York too & every port along the way,

I have found paradise, now I’m here to stay

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Send the schooner away, I’m on dry land

& Take a look at my face, you’ll understand.

I don’t need to go runnin’ away to find,

Oh no, some Tropical Island state of mind, mind mind

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Verse 2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I let the trade winds take me to a place called nowhere

I came upon a port called hope, Jesus, ain’t nobody there

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Send the schooner away, I’m on dry land

& Take a look at my face, you’ll understand.

I don’t need to go runnin’ away to find, Oh no

Some Tropical Island state of mind mind, mind

You’re all I needed…….. all I needed,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Verse 3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’ve got my feet on cloud nine, & my face is in the wind

Go on, tell the Capt’n kiss my ass, cuz I won’t be back again,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Send the schooner away, I’m on dry land

& Take a look at my face, you’ll understand.

I don’t need to go runnin’ away to find,

Oh no, some Tropical Island state of mind……

 Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, some Tropical Island state of mind…
