           Dm                             Bb/F
I see your teeth flash, Jamaican honey so sweet
           C/G             F           Bb
Down where Lexington cross 47th Street
        Dm                                       Bb/F
She's a big girl, she's standing six foot three
        F                           C/G       Ab
Turning tricks for the dudes in the big city
 
 
Eb     Bb
Island girl
                                      F
What you wanting with the white man's world
Eb     Bb
Island girl
                                 F
Black boy want you in his island world
           Bb                Bb/A
He want to take you from the racket boss
           Bb7              Eb
He want to save you but the cause is lost
Bb           Bb7          Eb
Island girl, island girl, island girl
Bb/F                              Eb/G  F7/A  Bb
Tell me what you wanting with the white man's world

      Dm                                Bb/F
She's black as coal but she burn like a fire
       C/G                    F/A                  Bb
And she wrap herself around you like a well worn tire
             Dm                                 Bb/F
You feel her nail scratch your back just like a rake
   F                 C/G                  Ab  
He one more gone, he one more John who make the mistake
 
repeat chorus 
then repeat verse chords for instrumental break
repeat chous again
 
F    Bb/F    F    Bb/F    F    Bb/F
