Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
Off the Florida Keys
There's a place called Kokomo
That's where you wanna go to get away from it all
Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We'll be falling in love to the rhythm of a steel drum band
Way down in Kokomo
Chorus
Aruba, Jamaica, uh I wanna take ya to Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego...Baby why don't we go down to Kokomo,
Fm C (*fill-> A sting: 3-2-0
We'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow last note hits at the
following Am chord)
That's where we want to go
Way down in Kokomo
End-fill:
Verse 2
We'll go out to sea
And perfect our chemistry
By and by we'll defy a little bit of gravity (uoho)
Afternoon delights
Cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye gives me a tropical contact high
Way down in Kokomo
-->(Chorus w/ both fills)
-->(saxo solo) over verse chords (C Cmaj7 C7 F Fm C Dm G)
Verse 3
Everybody knows (everybody knows)
A little place like Kokomo
Now if you wanna go to get away from it all
go down to Kokomo
-->Chorus x2 (first time acapella, till 'Way down in Kokomo' where guitar comes
in again (no end-fill in here) and continues for the second time):
...Way down in Kokomo
Aruba, Jamaica, uh I wanna take ya to Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego...Baby why don't we go down to Kokomo,
We'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow
That's where we want to go
Way down in Ko-ko-mo
