             Fm7
Her name was Lola

Abadd9     Ebmaj7
 She was a showgirl

            Am7-5           D7
With yellow feathers in her hair 

      Gm7
And a dress cut down to there

            Fm7
She would merengue 

Abadd9      Ebmaj7
 And do the cha-cha

              Am7-5         D7
And while she tried to be a star

     Gm7
Tony always tended bar
[Bridge]
           Cdim D7  Gm
Across the crow-ded floor

                 Cdim  D7  Gm
They worked from eight til four

          Cm                      D7
They were young and they had each other

          Gm F#aug Bb7
Who could ask for  more
[Chorus]
       Fm7   Abadd9   Ebmaj7
At the Copa,    Copacabana

    Fm7          Abadd9    Ebmaj7
The hottest spot north of Havana 

C9     Fm7  Abadd9      Gm7    C7
At the Copa,      Copacaba  -  na

Fm7       Bb7          Gm7       C7             Fm7    D7
Music and passion were always in fashion at the Copa

[Verse 2]
             Fm7
His name was Rico

Abadd9     Ebmaj7
 He wore a diamond

         Am7-5         D7
He was escorted to his chair 

       Gm7
He saw Lola dancing there

             Fm7
And when she finished 

Abadd9         Ebmaj7
 He called her over

         Am7-5          D7
But Rico went a bit too far 

     Gm7
Tony sailed across the bar
[Bridge]
             Cdim D7   Gm
And then the pun -ches flew

                Cdim    D7 Gm
And chairs were smashed in two

          Cm                 D7
There was blood and a single gunshot

         Gm  F#aug Bb7
But just who shot  who?
[Chorus]
       Fm7   Abadd9   Ebmaj7
At the Copa,    Copacabana

    Fm7          Abadd9    Ebmaj7

            Fm7
Her name is Lola 

Abadd9     Ebmaj7
 She was a showgirl

             Am7-5         D7
But that was thirty years ago 

          Gm7
When they used to have a show

           Fm7
Now it's a disco 

Abadd9       Ebmaj7
 But not for Lola

             Am7-5             D7
Still in the dress she used to wear

      Gm7
Faded feathers in her hair
[Bridge]
               Cdim D7 Gm
She sits there so   re-fined

              Cdim D7   Gm
And drinks herself half-blind

             Cm                     D7
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony

          Gm   F#aug Bb7
Now she's lost her   mind
[Chorus]
       Fm7   Abadd9   Ebmaj7
