         / / /  / / /

Verse 1:

        Em7                 A7
           It's really true    how nothin' matters
        Em7                  A7
           No mad, mad world    and no mad hatters
        Em7                        A7
           And no-one's pitchin' 'cause there ain't no batters
            B7
        In Coconut Grove

Verse 2:

        Em7                     A7
            Don't bar the door,    there's no-one comin'
        Em7                  A7
            The ocean's roar    will dull the drummin'
        Em7               A7                  Em7  A7
            Of any city thoughts or city ways

Bridge:

        G [w/autoharp]
          The ocean breeze is coolin' my mind
                                    Em7
        The salty days are hers and mine
                    A7              Em7   A7
        Just to do what we want to

         G
        Tonight we'll find a dune that's ours
                                       Em7
        And softly she will speak the stars
                 A7   Em7   A7
        Until sunup

Verse 3 (chords as per verse 1):

        It's all from havin' someone knowin'
        Just which way your head is blowin'
        Who's always warm like in the mornin'
        In Coconut Grove
