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