  There's a place called Kokomo

Bodies in the sand

C7                       F            Fm
  Tropical drink melting in your hand

                    C                       Dm

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
