VERSE
       Fm7Fm7
Her name was Lola
Ab/Bb   Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
 She was a showgirl
      Am7-5      D7D7
With yellow feathers in her hair
   Gm7Gm7
And a dress cut down to there
      Fm7Fm7
She would merengue
Ab/Bb    Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
 And do the cha-cha
       Am7-5     D7D7
And while she tried to be a star
   Gm7Gm7
Tony always tended bar

BRIDGE
      CdimCdim D7D7 G minorGm
Across the crow-ded floor
         CdimCdim D7D7 G minorGm
They worked from eight til four
     C minorCm           D7D7
They were young and they had each other
     Gm7Gm7 F#augF#aug Fm6Fm6
Who could ask for  more


CHORUS
    Fm7Fm7  Ab/Bb  Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
At the Copa,  Copacabana
  Fm7Fm7     Ab/Bb   Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
The hottest spot north of Havana

They fell in love ...


VERSE
       Fm7Fm7
His name was Rico
Ab/Bb   Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
 He wore a diamond
     Am7-5     D7D7
He was escorted to his chair
    Gm7Gm7
He saw Lola dancing there
       Fm7Fm7
And when she finished
Ab/Bb     Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
 He called her over
     Am7-5     D7D7
But Rico went a bit too far
   Gm7Gm7
Tony sailed across the bar


BRIDGE
       CdimCdim D7D7  G minorGm
And then the pun -ches flew
        CdimCdim  D7D7 G minorGm
And chairs were smashed in two
     C minorCm         D7D7
There was blood and a single gunshot
     Gm7Gm7 F#augF#aug Fm6Fm6
But just who shot who?


CHORUS

VERSE
      Fm7Fm7
Her name is Lola
Ab/Bb   Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
 She was a showgirl
       Am7-5     D7D7
But that was thirty years ago
     Gm7Gm7
When they used to have a show
      Fm7Fm7
Now it's a disco
Ab/Bb    Ebmaj7Ebmaj7
 But not for Lola
       Am7-5       D7D7
Still in the dress she used to wear
   Gm7Gm7
Faded feathers in her hair


BRIDGE
        CdimCdim D7D7 G minorGm
She sits there so  re-fined
       CdimCdim D7D7  G minorGm
And drinks herself half-blind
       C minorCm           D7D7
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
     Gm7Gm7 F#augF#aug Fm6Fm6
Now she's lost her  mind


CHORUS
