Copacabana - Barry Manilow
(Em) (D#m) (Dm) (D#m) (Em) (Dm!) - (D#m!) - (Em!)
Dm G C
Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl,
F#m B7 Em
with yellow feathers in her hair, and a dress cut down to there.
Dm G C
She would meringue, and do the cha-cha,
F#m B7 Em
and while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar.
B7 Em B7 Em
Across the crowded floor they worked from eight till four,
Am B7
they were young and they had each other.
Em G
Who could ask for more ?
[CHORUS]
Dm G C
At the Copa, Copacabana,
Dm G C
the hottest spot north of Havana (Here!).
Dm G Em A
At the Copa, Copacabana.
Dm G Em A Dm
Music and passion were always in fashion at the Copa.
(B7) (Em) (D#m) (Dm) (D#m) (Em) (Dm!) - (D#m!) - (Em!)
They fell in love.
Dm G C
His name was Rico he wore a diamond,
F#m B7 Em
he was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there.
Dm G C
And when she finished, he called her over,
F#m B7 Em
but Rico went a bit too far, Tony sailed across the bar.
B7 Em B7 Em
And then the punches flew, and chairs were smashed in two,
Am B7
there was blood and a single gunshot,
Em G
but just who shot who?
[CHORUS]
Dm G C
At the Copa, Copacabana,
Dm G C
the hottest spot north of Havana (Here!).
Dm G Em A
At the Copa, Copacabana.
Dm G Em A Dm
Music and passion were always in fashion at the Copa.
(B7) (Em) (D#m) (Dm) (D#m) (Em) (Dm!) - (D#m!) - (Em!)
She lost her love
Dm G C
Her name is Lola, she was a showgirl,
F#m B7 Em
but that was thirty years ago, when they used to have a show.
Dm G C
Now it's a disco, but not for Lola,
F#m B7 Em
still in the dress she used to wear, faded feathers in her hair.
B7 Em B7 Em
She sits there so refined, and drinks herself half-blind.
Am B7
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Em G
and she's lost her mind
[CHORUS]
(B7) (Em) (Dm) (Em) (Dm)
Don’t fall in love. Don’t fall in love.
Em Dm Em Dm Em Dm Em
Copa Copaca bana. Copaca bana Copaca bana
