[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]
