[Verse 1]
I was [NC] tired of my
[F] lady, [START LOOP] [Am] [G] [F]
we'd been tog [Dm] ether too [C] long [Em] [Dm] [C]
like a worn [Gm] out rec [PLAY LOOP]
[F] ording [Am] [G] [F]
of a [Dm] favorite [C] song [Em] [Dm] [C]
So while she [Gm] lay there
[F] sleepin' [Am] [G] [F]
I read the [Dm] paper in [C] bed [Em] [Dm] [C]
and in the [Gm] personal [F] columns [Am] [G] [F]
there was this [Dm] letter I [C] read
[Em] [Dm] [C] If you like [Gm]piña
[Chorus - PLAY EXTRA CHORDS OVER LOOP TO BUILD]
[F] coladas [Am] [G] [F]
and gettin' caught [Dm] in the [C] rain
[Em] [Dm] [C] if you're [Gm] not into
[F] yoga [Am] [G] [F]
if you [Dm] have half a [C] brain
[Em] [Dm] [C] (big strums for next bit)
[C]if you like [Gm] makin' love at
[F] midnight [Am] [G] [F]
in the [Dm] dunes of [C] a cape [Em] [Dm] [C]
then I'm the [Gm] love that you've
[F] looked for [Am] [G] [F]
wri [Dm] te to me and [C] escape
[Em] [Dm] [C] [Gm]

[Verse 2]
I didn't [Gm] think about my [F] lady, [Am] [G] [F]
I know that [Dm] sounds kind of [C] mean [Em] [Dm] [C]
But me and [Gm] my old [F] lady [Am] [G] [F]
had fallen i [Dm] nto the sa [C] me old dull
[Em7] routine [Dm] [C]
So I [Gm] wrote to the [F] paper, [Am] [G] [F]
took out a [Dm] personal [C] ad [Em] [Dm] [C]
And though I [Gm] 'm nobody's [F] poet, [Am] [G] [F]
I thought it [Dm] wasn't half [C] bad [Em7] [Dm]
(big strummy figure to simulate drum roll)
[C] yes I like [Gm]piña
[Chorus]
[F] coladas [Am] [G] [F]
and getting [Dm] caught in the [C] rain [Em] [Dm] [C]
I'm not [G] much into [F] health food, [Am] [G] [F]
I am [Dm] into cham [C] pagne [Em] [Dm] [C]
I've got to [Gm] meet you by
[F] tomorrow [Am] noon [G] [F]
and cut through [Dm] all this [C] red tape [Em] [Dm] [C]
At a [Gm] bar called [F] O'Malley's [Am] [G] [F]
where we'll [Dm] plan our [C] escape [Em] [Dm] [C] [Gm]
[Interlude]
F Am G | F Dm | C Em Dm | C Gm
F Am G | F Dm | C Em Dm | C Gm
[Verse 3]
So I waited with [F] high hopes [Am] [G] [F]
and she [Dm] walked in the [C] place [Em] [Dm] [C]
I knew her [Gm] smile in an [F] instant, [Am] [G] [F]
I knew the [Dm] curve of her [C] face [Em] [Dm] [C]
It was my [Gm] own lovely [F] lady [Am] [G] [F]
and she [Dm] said, "Aw, [C] it's you [Em] [Dm] [C]
Then we [G] laughed for a [F] moment [Am] [G] [F]
and I [Dm] said, "I [C] never knew. [Em] [Dm] [C]
[Chorus]
That you like [Gm] piña [F] colada [Am] [G] [F]
and gettin' cau [Dm] ght in the [C] rain [Em] [Dm] [C]
And the [Gm] feel of the [F] ocean [Am] [G] [F]
and the [Dm] taste of [C] champagne [Em] [Dm] [C]
If you like maki [Gm] ng love at
[F] midnight [Am] [G] [F]
in the [Dm] dunes on the [C] cape [Em] [Dm] [C]

come with [Dm] me and [C] escape [Em] [Dm] [C]
