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
             
(Dm!) - (D#m!) - (Em!)
