                            "Coconut Grove"
                    (John Sebastian - Zal Yanofsky)

Intro:

	acoustic guitar [4X; electric guitar enters 3rd time]

	Em7    A7              Em7: 02203x   A7: x0202x
	 / / /  / / /

Verse 1:

	Em7                 A7
	   It's really true    how nothin' matters
	Em7                  A7
	   No mad, mad world    and no mad hatters
	Em7                        A7
	   And no-one's pitchin' 'cause there ain't no batters
	    B7
	In Coconut Grove

Verse 2:

	Em7                     A7
	    Don't bar the door,    there's no-one comin'
	Em7                  A7
	    The ocean's roar    will dull the drummin'
	Em7               A7                  Em7  A7
	    Of any city thoughts or city ways

Bridge:

	G [w/autoharp]
	  The ocean breeze is coolin' my mind
	                            Em7
	The salty days are hers and mine
	            A7              Em7   A7
	Just to do what we want to

	 G
	Tonight we'll find a dune that's ours
	                               Em7
	And softly she will speak the stars
	         A7   Em7   A7
	Until sunup

Verse 3 (chords as per verse 1):

	It's all from havin' someone knowin'
	Just which way your head is blowin'
	Who's always warm like in the mornin'
	In Coconut Grove
