Escape The Pina Colada Song chords by Rupert Holmes

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

I prefer replacing the G with a G7 barre chord
And, using Em7-5 in place of the Gm
To make it super simple just play the |:Gm F   Dm C:| and drop the descending chord runs.

Intro:
F   Fmaj7 G F   Dm  C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C  Gm
F   Fmaj7 G F   Dm  C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C

Verse 1:
                  F      Fmaj7 G F                Dm         C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C
I was tired of my lady                We'd been together too long
       Gm         F      Fmaj7 G F         Dm       C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C
Like a worn out recording             Of a favorite song
             Gm        F      Fmaj7 G F             Dm       C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C
So while she lay there sleeping          I read the paper in bed
           Gm       F      Fmaj7 G F                   Dm       C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C
And in the personal columns             There was this letter I read

Chorus 1:
             Gm     F    Fmaj7 G F               Dm            C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C
"If you like piña coladas            And getting caught in the rain
          Gm       F    Fmaj7 G F           Dm          C    Cmaj7 Dm7 C
If you're not into yoga              If you have half a brain
            Gm             F       Fmaj7 G F          Dm           C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C
If you like making love at midnight            In the dunes on the cape
             Gm               F         Fmaj7 G F            Dm      C      Cmaj7 Dm7 C
Then I'm the love that you've looked for            Write to me, and escape"

Verse 2:
         Gm             F    Fmaj7 G F              Dm             C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C
I didn't think about my lady            I know that sounds kind of mean
           Gm     F    Fmaj7 G F             Dm       C        Cmaj7 Dm7 C
But me and my old lady            Had fallen into the same old dull  rou-tine
     Gm           F    Fmaj7 G F              Dm       C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C
So I wrote to the paper            Took out a personal ad
               Gm       F    Fmaj7 G F               Dm          C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C
And though I'm nobody's poet            I thought it wasn't half bad

Chorus 2:
             Gm     F    Fmaj7 G F               Dm            C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C
"Yes, I like piña coladas            And getting caught in the rain
        Gm        F          Fmaj7 G F         Dm   C    Cmaj7 Dm7 C
I'm not much into health food             I am into champagne
            Gm            F          Fmaj7 G F                   Dm           C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon            And cut through all this red tape
     Gm           F       Fmaj7 G F               Dm         C     Cmaj7 Dm7 C
At a bar called O'Malley's            Where we'll plan our escape"

Verse 3:
     Gm          F         Fmaj7 G F           Dm            C    Cmaj7 Dm7 C
So I waited with high hopes            And she walked in the place
           Gm          F      Fmaj7 G F              Dm           C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C
I knew her smile in an instant            I knew the curve of her face
          Gm         F    Fmaj7 G F                 Dm       C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C
It was my own lovely lady            And she said, "Aw, it's you"
        Gm            F     Fmaj7 G F               Dm      C    Cmaj7 Dm7 C
Then we laughed for a moment           And I said, "I never knew"

Chorus 3:
                Gm     F    Fmaj7 G F               Dm            C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C
"That you liked piña coladas            And getting caught in the rain
        Gm          F    Fmaj7 G F            Dm           C    Cmaj7 Dm7 C
And the feel of the ocean             And the taste of champagne
            Gm             F       Fmaj7 G F          Dm           C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C
If you like making love at midnight            In the dunes on the cape
           Gm        F         Fmaj7 G F             Dm        C    Cmaj7 Dm7 C
You're the lady I've looked for            Come with me, and escape"

Chorus 1:
             Gm     F    Fmaj7 G F               Dm            C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C
"If you like piña coladas            And getting caught in the rain
          Gm       F    Fmaj7 G F           Dm          C    Cmaj7 Dm7 C
If you're not into yoga              If you have half a brain
            Gm             F       Fmaj7 G F          Dm           C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C
If you like making love at midnight            In the dunes on the cape
             Gm               F         Fmaj7 G F            Dm      C      Cmaj7 Dm7 C
Then I'm the love that you've looked for            Write to me, and escape"

Chorus 2:
             Gm     F    Fmaj7 G F               Dm            C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C
"Yes, I like piña coladas            And getting caught in the rain
        Gm        F          Fmaj7 G F         Dm   C    Cmaj7 Dm7 C
I'm not much into health food             I am into champagne
            Gm            F          Fmaj7 G F                   Dm           C   Cmaj7 Dm7 C
I've got to meet you by tomorrow noon            And cut through all this red tape
     Gm           F       Fmaj7 G F               Dm         C     Cmaj7 Dm7 C
At a bar called O'Malley's            Where we'll plan our escape"
