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"
