[Dm] _ [C] _ _ [E] _ _ [F] _ _ [Am] _
[G] _ [F] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Dm] _ [C] _ was tired [F] of my lady
_ We'd [G] been together [C] too long _
_ _ Like a worn out [F] _ recording
[G] _ [F] Of [G] a [C] favorite song _
[Dm] _ [C] So while she lay [F] there sleeping _
_ I [G] read the paper [C] in bed _
[Dm] [C] And [Em] in the [F] personal columns
[G] _ [F] _ [G] Was this [C] letter I read _
[Dm] _ [C] _ If you like [F] pina coladas
[G] _ [F] _ You're getting [C] caught in the rain
[Dm] _ [C] If [E] you're [F] not into yoga
_ [G] [F] If you [C] have half a brain
_ [Dm] [C] If you'd [Em] like me [F] getting lit at night
_ In the [C] dunes on the cape
[Dm] _ [C] I'm the [F] love that you've looked [G] for
[F] _ Write [C] to me and escape _
[Dm] [C] I _ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ didn't think [F] about my lady
[G] _ [F] I [G] know that [C] sounds kind of [Dm] mean
[E] But me and my [F] old lady
Are _ [G] falling into [C] the same old [Dm] [C] routine
So I wrote to [F] the paper _
_ Took [G] out a [C] personal ad
[Dm] _ [C] Even though I'm [F] nobody's poet _
[G] _ [F] I thought it [G] wasn't [C] half bad
[Dm] _ [C] Yes I like [F] pina coladas
[G] _ [F] And getting caught [G] in the [C] rain
[Dm] [C] I'm [Gm] not [F] nauseated to health [G] food
[F] I am into [G] _ [C] champagne
[Dm] _ [C] _ [E] I've got to eat you [F] by tomorrow [B] noon
[F] _ And cut through all [C] this red tape _
[Dm] [C] At _ [E] a bar [F] called Old [G] Valley's
[F] _ Where we'll [C] plan our [Dm] escape
[C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ So I waited [F] with high hopes
[G] _ [F] And [G] she walked [C] in the place _
_ I knew her [F] smile in an instant
[G] _ [F] I [G] knew the [C] curve of her face
[Dm] _ [Gm] [C] It was my old [F] lovely lady _
_ And [G] she said, [C] oh it's you _
[Dm] _ [C] And [Em] we laughed [F] for a moment
[G] _ [F] And [G] I said, [C] I never [Dm] knew
[C] That you like [F] pina coladas
[G] _ [F] And getting [C] caught in the rain
[Dm] _ [C] _ [E] And the [F] feel of the ocean
[G] _ [F] And the [C] taste of [Dm] champagne
[C] _ If you like making [F] love at midnight
_ _ In the [C] dunes of the Cape
[Dm] _ [C] _ You're [Em] the [F] lady I've looked [G] for
[F] _ Come with [C] me and [Dm] escape
[C] _ _ [E] _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Great Rupert!
