[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

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
