[Verse 1]
             Fm7
Her name was Lola
Ab/Bb      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 
Ab/Bb       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
          Gm7 F#aug Fm6
Who could ask for   more
 
[Chorus]
       Fm7   Ab/Bb    Ebmaj7
At the Copa,    Copacabana
    Fm7          Ab/Bb     Ebmaj7
The hottest spot north of Havana 
C9     Fm7  Ab/Bb       Gm7/D  C7
At the Copa,      Copacaba  -  na
                                                f g Ab a Bb b c C# d

[Verse 2]
             Fm7
His name was Rico
Ab/Bb      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 
Ab/Bb          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
         Gm7 F#aug Fm6
But just who shot  who?
 
[Chorus]
       Fm7   Ab/Bb    Ebmaj7
At the Copa,    Copacabana

[Verse 3]
            Fm7
Her name is Lola 
Ab/Bb      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 
Ab/Bb        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
          Gm7  F#aug Fm6
Now she's lost her   mind
 
[Chorus]
       Fm7   Ab/Bb    Ebmaj7
At the Copa,    Copacabana
