KOKOMO by The Beach Boys
by Marla Hitunen

(acapella)

Aruba, Jamaica, ew I wanna take ya, Bermuda, bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego, baby why don't we go, Jamaica...

                C    Em
Off the Florida Keys

Gm                     F      Fm
There's a place called Kokomo

                 C                 Dm             G
That's where you wanna go to get away from it all

                    Em
Bodies in the sand

Gm                              F    Fm
Tropical drink melting in your hand

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


Down in Koko...

(chorus)

C                                         F
Aruba, Jamaica, ew I wanna take ya to Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama

      C                                          F
Key Largo Montego...Ew I wanna take her down to Kokomo,

       Fm                          C
We'll get there fast & then we'll take slow

Am               F       G
That's where we wanna go

                   C
Way down in Koko...Martinique, that Monserate mystique


C                    Em
We'll put out to sea

                       F        Fm
And we'll perfect our chemistry

                 C                    Dm     G
By and by we'll defy a little bit of gravity

C                 Em
Afternoon delight

               F             Fm
Cocktails and moonlit nights

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


Way down in Koko...

(chorus)

C
Port Au Prince, I wanna catch a glimpse

(instrumental)


C              Em
Everybody knows

                    F      Fm
A little place like Kokomo

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


go down to Koko...

(chorus to fade out)
