Hey, howdy and [Gm] hello.
I'm Carson [Bb] McKee, and I've had Escape, the Piña Colada song, stuck in my head for the past several months.
But not the version you might know.
Nope, the version [Ebm] that I've had stuck in my head [Bb] is a country folk rock
simple version that, well, until today did not exist.
So I made it.
I scratched the edge of my brain and I made what might be a massive mistake.
But we're going to enjoy the fruits of my labor together.
[G] Cheers.
I was tired of my lady.
[D] We'd been together too long.
[G]
Like a worn-out recording
of a favorite song.
While she lay there sleeping,
I read the paper in bed.
[C] And in the personal columns,
[D] there was a letter that said,
[G] If you like Piña Coladas and getting caught in the rain,
If you're not [C] into yoga,
[E] If you got [G]
half a brain,
If you like making [C] love at midnight,
[G] See the dunes on a cave,
[A] Find the [C] one you're looking for.
[D] Write to me, let's escape.
[C] I didn't think about my lady.
[G] I know that sounds kind of mean,
but me and my old lady,
We've gotten into the same old dull routine.
So I wrote [C] to the paper,
[D] Took out a personal ad, [G] and though I'm nobody's [C] poet,
[D] Well, I thought it [G] wouldn't have [C] bad.
[G] Yes, I like [C] Piña Coladas,
[G] And getting caught in the [C] rain.
[G] I'm not [C] much into health food.
[G] I am into champagne.
[C] [G] I gotta meet you [C] by tomorrow noon,
[G] And cut through all this red tape.
[A] Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
At a bar [C]
called O'Malley.
That's where we'll plan [G] our escape.
[C] So I waited with high hopes,
[D] And she walked [G] in the place.
[C] I knew her smile in an instant.
[D] I knew the curve [G] of her [G] face.
It was my own lovely lady.
And she said, ah, it's you.
Then we laughed for a moment, [D] and I said I never [C] knew.
[G] You like pina [C] colada [E] and getting cold [G]
in [C] the rain, [G] and [C] the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne.
[C] And [G] you like making [C]
love at midnight [E] in the [G] dunes on a cape.
[A] You're the lady [C] I've been looking [G] for.
Come to me, let's escape.
Come with me, let's escape.
Come with me, let's escape.
Come with me, let's escape.
