Kokomo chords by John Mayall
Intro 1
Am
Verse 1
Am
I told some friends you came from
Gary
Though your home was in that town
The last time I saw you was
in New York City
Leaving on a Greyhound
homeward bound
I gave you what I had in my pocket
Enough for candy bars and beer
Didn't I wave goodbye with
a low down feeling?
Still, I held back the tears
Verse 2
Am
I started thinking 'bout you up in Milwaukee
It was raining when we reached Chicago
But the tears didn't start
D
Am
rolling down my cheeks
F#dim
'Til we rolled into Kokomo

The next time around you

Making a name for yourself
Now all that's left is the love in our hearts
And some reel- to- reel
tapes on my shelf
