Just one second, uh, happy hour guys, can I get you something to drink?
Uh, maybe a pina colada?
Yeah, sure, why not?
I'll take a double.
Right.
Hey fellas, wait a minute.
Who was that guy?
Was that the Long Ranger?
No, that was Rupert Holmes.
And he just said something to me about escape?
[G]
[C]
[F] [G] [F]
[C]
I was tired [F] of my lady.
[G] We'd been together [C] too long.
[D]
[C] Like a worn out [F] recording
[G]
of a favorite [C] song.
So while she lay [F] there sleeping,
[G] I read the paper [C] in bed.
[D] In [C] the personal [F] columns,
[G] there was this letter I read.
[C] If you like pina [Am] coladas,
[F] and getting caught in [C] the [Em] rain,
[C] if you're not [F] into yoga,
if you have half a brain,
if you like making up [F] at midnight,
in the [C] dunes on the cape,
then you're [C] the love that [F] I look for,
[G] [F] right to [C] me [Em] and escape.
[C]
[F] [C] [F]
[C] [F]
[F] [C] [F]
[C] I didn't think about [F] my lady,
I [C] know that sounds kind of mean,
but me and my old [F] lady
[G] are falling into the [C] same old gum routine.
So I read through the [F] paper,
[G] took out a personal [C] aim,
and though I'm [F] nobody's poet,
[G] I thought it wasn't [C] half the bang.
Yes, I [C] like pina [F] coladas,
and getting caught in [C] the rain.
I'm not munching [F] to health food,
[G] [F] I am into [C] champagne.
I've got to meet you by [F] tomorrow noon.
Cut through all [C] this red tape,
at a bar called [F] O'Malley's,
where we [C] plan our escape.
[F] [C] [F]
[C]
[F] [C] [F]
[C] [F] So [G] I waited with high hopes,
and she walked in the place.
I knew her [F] smile in an instant,
[G] I knew the [C] curve of her face.
It was my own lovely [F] lady,
[G] and she said, [C] oh it's you.
Then we laughed for [F] a moment,
[G] and I said, [C] oh, I never knew.
Yes, you like pina [F] coladas,
and getting caught [C] in the rain,
[Em] and the feel [F] of the ocean,
[G] [F]
and the [C] taste of champagne.
If you [Gm] like making [F] love at midnight,
in the [C] dunes on the cape,
then you're the love of [F] my life.
[G] [F] Come with [C] me and escape.

[C] Oh, yes, I like pina [F] coladas,

[C] If you like making [F] love at midnight,
[A] in the [C] dunes on the cape,
then you're the love [F] that I've looked [G] for.
Come with me and [Em] [C] escape.
