Intro
Verse
Down in Jamaica they got lots of pretty women
Steal your money then they break your heart
Lonesome Sue, she's in love with ol' Sam
She take him from the fire into the fryin' pan
Chorus
On and on
She just keeps on trying
C A7 A7b13 A7*
And she smiles when she feels like cry - ing
On and on, on and on, on and on
Verse
Poor ol' Jimmy sits alone in the moonlight
Saw his woman kiss another man
So he, takes a ladder, steals the stars from the sky
Puts on Sinatra and starts to cry
Chorus
On and on
He just keeps on trying
C A7 A7b13 A7*
And he smiles when he feels like cry - ing
On and on, on and on, on and on
Bridge
When the first time is the last time
It can make you feel so bad
But if you know it, show it
Hold on tight, don't let her say Goodnight
Verse
I got the sun on my shoulders and my toes in the sand
My woman's left me for some other man
Ah, but, I don't care I'll just dream and stay tanned
Toss up my heart and see where it lands.
Chorus
On and on
I just keep on trying
C A7 A7b13 A7*
And I smile when I feel like dy - ing
On and on, on and on, on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on
