Verse 1: 
                G
Off the Florida  Keys
Dm                      C
 There's a place called  Kokomo
Cm                G                     A                 
 That's where you  wanna go to get away  from it all [D]
G
 Bodies in the sand
Dm                      C
 Tropical drink melting  in your hand
Cm                   G                        A
 We'll be falling in  love to the rhythm of a  steel drum band
D            G
 Down in Kokomo
 
 
|[Chorus]
|  G
|Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I wanna take ya to

|Key  Largo Montego, ooh I wanna take her down to  Kokomo
|      Cm                             G
|We'll  get there fast and then we'll  take it slow
|Em               A
| That's where we  wanna go
|D                G
| Way down in Kokomo
 
Verse 2: 
G
 Martinique, that Montserrat mystique
G
 We'll put out to sea
Dm                     C
 And we'll perfect our  chemistry
Cm               G                     A        
 By and by we'll  defy a little bit of  gravity [D]
G
 Afternoon delight
Dm             C
 Cocktails and  moonlit nights
Cm                        G                       A
 That dreamy look in your  eye give me a tropical  contact high
D                G
 Way down in Kokomo
