Intro: F | Am G F | Dm | C | G Dm7 C | Gm F | Am G F | Dm | C | Em7 F C | F Am G F I was tired of my lady, Dm C G Dm7 C we'd been together too long G F Am G F like a worn out recording Dm C Em7 F C of a favorite song. Gm F Am G F So while she lay there sleepin' Dm C G Dm7 C I read the paper in bed Gm F Am G F and in the personal columns Dm C Em7 F C there was this letter I read. F Am G F If you like piña coladas Dm C G Dm7 C and gettin' caught in the rain Gm F Am G F if you're not into yoga Dm C Em7 F C if you have half a brain Gm F Am G F if you like makin' love at midnight Dm C G Dm7 C in the dunes of a cape Gm F Am G F then I'm the love that you've looked for Dm C Em7 F C write to me and escape. Interlude: F | Am G F | Dm | C | G Dm7 C | Gm F | Am G F | Dm | C | Em7 F C | F Am G F I didn't think about my lady, Dm C G Dm7 C I know that sounds kind of mean Gm F Am G F But me and my old lady Dm C Em7 F C had fallen into the same old dull routine Gm F Am G F So I wrote to the paper, Dm C G Dm7 C took out a personal ad Gm F Am G F And though I'm nobody's poet, Dm C Em7 F C I thought it wasn't half bad. F Am G F Yes, I like piña coladas Dm C G Dm7 C and getting caught in the rain Gm F Am G F I'm not much into health food, Dm C Em7 F C I am into champagne Gm F Am G F I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon Dm C G Dm7 C and cut through all this red tape Gm F Am G F At a bar called O'Malley's Dm C Em7 F C where we'll plan our escape. Interlude: F | Am G F | Dm | C | G Dm7 C | Gm F | Am G F | Dm | C | Em7 F C | F Am G F So I waited with high hopes Dm C G Dm7 C and she walked in the place Gm F Am G F I knew her smile in an instant, Dm C Em7 F C I knew the curve of her face Gm F Am G F It was my own lovely lady Dm C G Dm7 C and she said, "Aw, it's you." Gm F Am G F Then we laughed for a moment Dm C Em7 F C and I said, "I never knew." F Am G F That you like piña coladas Dm C G Dm7 C and gettin' caught in the rain Gm F Am G F And the feel of the ocean Dm C Em7 F C and the taste of champagne Gm F Am G F If you like making love at midnight Dm C G Dm7 C in the dunes on the cape Gm F Am G F You're the lady I've looked for, Dm C Em7 F C come with me and escape Interlude: F | Am G F | Dm | C | G Dm7 C | Gm F | Am G F | Dm | C | Em7 F C | F Am G F If you like piña coladas Dm C G Dm7 C and gettin' caught in the rain Gm F Am G F if you're not into yoga Dm C Em7 F C if you have half a brain Gm F Am G F if you like makin' love at midnight Dm C G Dm7 C in the dunes of a cape Gm F Am G F then I'm the love that you've looked for Dm C Em7 F C write to me and escape. F Am G F Yes, I like piña coladas Dm C G Dm7 C and getting caught in the rain Gm F Am G F I'm not much into health food, Dm C Em7 F C I am into champagne This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
