  There's a place called Kokomo

                 C                 Dm              G7

Bodies in the sand

  Tropical drink melting in your hand

                    C                       Dm             
We'll be falling in love to the rhythm of a steel drum band

  Way down in Kokomo

C                 Cmaj7
We'll go out to sea

  And perfect our chemistry

                   C                  Dm       G7
By and by we'll defy a little bit of gravity (uoho)

C             Cmaj7
Afternoon delights

C7                 F             Fm
  Cocktails and moonlit nights

                          C                       Dm          G
That dreamy look in your eye gives me a tropical contact high

Verse 3:

C            Cmaj7                  
Everybody knows   (everybody knows)

  A little place like Kokomo

            C                Dm              G
Now if you wanna go to get away from it all
