Chords for Barry Manilow - Copacabana (Live from The 1978 BBC Special)

We're gonna do a story song here for you.
I love story songs.
I just love story songs, you know, like that
Like that Tallahatchie Bridge song.
I always loved listening to that thing
I never could quite figure out how the thing ended but I always loved listening to it and so
and
So a couple of friends of mine and myself we both we all sat down and we wrote a story song of our own and I
Know how this one ends and I will tell you so in song now _
this story talks about love and passion and hatred and violence and murder and alcoholism and
neurosis
_ _ All the fun things in life, don't you think now?
Every time I sing this song I always get this image of a nightclub an old-fashioned nightclub with with ceiling fans
You know and and beaded curtains, you know and and and glamorous showgirls with feather
_ _ and
And Desi Arnaz in his ruffled sleeves and all you know, I can almost hear the sound of those Latin drums
As I speak _ _ _ _ _
