Copacabana Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 Her name is Fm7Lola A♯7

 She was a D♯7Mshowgirl

 With yellow [Am7-5]feathers in her D7hair

 And a Gm7dress cut down to there

She would merengue

And do the cha-cha

And while she tried to be a star

Tony always tended bar

 Across the CmcroD7wdedGm floor

 They worked from eCmight tD7il fGmour

 They were yCmoung and they had each D7other

 Who could Gm7ask F♯m7for Fm7more

Fm7Music and pA♯7assion were Gm7always in fC7ashion at the Fm7Copa D7

 They fell in Gm7love... Gm7 F♯m7 Fm7

Fm7His F♯m7name Gm7was RicGm7o F♯m7 Fm7 F♯m7 Gm7

He wore a diamond

He was escorted to his chair

He saw Lola dancing there

And when she finished

He called her over

But Rico went a bit too far

Tony sailed across the bar

And then the punches flew

And chairs were smashed in two

There was blood and a single gunshot

But just who shot who?

She was a showgirl

But that was thirty years ago

When they used to have a show

Now it's a disco

But not for Lola

Still in the dress she used to wear

Faded feathers in her hair

She sits there so refined

And drinks herself half-blind

She lost her youth and she lost her Tony

and she's lost her mind
