Some folks say that I\'ve got the perfect life

  BmThree swell kAids, lots of toys aGnd a lovely wife A

(Basically thats it for the verses, just listen to

the rhythm for when to change chords)

Interlude1

the steel drum bit (do a \"Misirlou\" type picking here for the 1st time round)

~~~~~~~~~~ (the Pulp Fiction theme for those who don\'t know the song!)

This bit is repeated twice by the steel drums:

b |---3/7/3---3/5/2---2--0--2--3--| (the / means slide)

Verse 2 follows - which is basically the same then....

  Come bGack, CAome back, BDack to AJamaicaBm

  G Don\'t you Aknow we Dmade a Abig mBmistaka

  G We\'d be so Asad, if you Dtold Aus gooBmdbye

  And we proGmise not to shoot you F♯mout of the sky

The interludey bit here is Bm, G, A X2 then Bm, A, G, A X2 which then goes back to the

verse structure. (Same as above) The slide bit follows then the chorus....

The fasty bit is next which is:-

Bm, A, G, F#m, F, D, F, F#m - try the tab here (the bass line) to get the basic rhythm of it:-

For the above bit - play the chords higher up on the fretboard.

Like the Bm on the 8th fret, the A on the 5th then the G on the 10th and F#m on the 9th etc etc..

I think the solos in B but I\'ll let ya know bout this later.

The end bit: Promise not to shoot you..... goes:

G, F#m, F, F#m, F, D, Bm - again, play this bit further down the fretboard.

AND THAT\'S IT - I think.
