Vox on the 3 on “I was tired”

	F	Am	G	F
I was tired of my	lady

All the way down to the 5 on “long”

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
We’d been to	gether too l	ong

	C9	F	Am	G	F
Like a w	orn out recor	ding

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
Of a	favorite s	ong

	C9	F	Am	G	F
So while she	lay there s	leepin’

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
I read the	paper in be	d

	C9	F	Am	G	F
And in the	personal co	lumns

	C9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
There was this	letter I re	ad

	F	Am	G	F
If you like piña	coladas

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
And gettin’ caug	ht in the r	ain

	C9	F	Am	G	F
If you’re	not into y	oga

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
If you	have half a b	rain

Original goes up to the 2 of the key here, I use the same melody as the “pina coladas” line

	C9	F	Am	G	F
If you like	makin’ love at m	idnight

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
In the	dunes of a	cape

	C9	F	Am	G	F
Then I’m the	love that you’ve l	ooked for

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
Write to m	e and e	scape

	F	Am	G	F
I didn’t think about my	lady

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
I know that so	unds kind of me	an

	C9	F	Am	G	F
But me and	my old l	ady

	G9	C	Em	Dm	C
Had fallen i	nto the sam	e old d	ull ro	utine

	C9	F	Am	G	F
So I w	rote to the p	aper

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
Took out a	personal a	d

	C9	F	Am	G	F
And though I’m n	obody’s p	oet

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
I thought it	wasn’t half	bad

	F	Am	G	F
Yes I like piña	coladas

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
And getting ca	ught in the r	ain

	C9	F	Am	G	F
I’m not m	uch into h	ealth food

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
I am i	nto champ	agne

	C9	F	Am	G	F
I’ve got to	meet you by t	omorrow n	oon

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
And cut through a	ll this r	ed tape

	C9	F	Am	G	F
At a	bar called O’M	alley’s

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
Where we’ll	plan our e	scape

	F	Am	G	F
So I waited with	high hopes

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
And she wa	lked in the p	lace

	C9	F	Am	G	F
I knew her s	mile in an i	nstant

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
I knew the	curve of her	face

	C9	F	Am	G	F
It was my	own lovely l	ady

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
And she s	aid, aw it’s	you

	C9	F	Am	G	F
And we	laughed for a m	oment

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
And I s	aid I ne	ver knew

	F	Am	G	F
That you like piña	coladas

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
And gettin’ caug	ht in the r	ain

	C9	F	Am	G	F
And the	feel of the o	cean

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
And the	taste of champa	gne

	C9	F	Am	G	F
If you like	makin’ love at m	idnight

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
In the	dunes of a	cape

	C9	F	Am	G	F
You’re the	lady I’ve l	ooked for

	G9	C	Em7	Dm7	C
Come with m	e and e	scape
