Verse 1:
             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                
|At the  Copa,         Copacabana, (C)
|    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.
 
Instrumental: 
(B7)                  (Em)  (D#m)  (Dm)  (D#m)  (Em)        (Dm) - (D#m) - (Em)
They fell in love.           
 
                               
Verse 2:
              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?

Instrumental:  
(B7)                    (Em)  (D#m)  (Dm)  (D#m)  (Em)        (Dm!) - (D#m!) - (Em!)
She lost her love

Verse 3: 
            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]

Outro: 
B7             Em           Dm                  
 Don’t fall in  love.        Don’t fall in love.  (Em)   (Dm)
Em       Dm      Em             Dm      Em       Dm      Em
 Copa     Copaca  bana.          Copaca  bana     Copaca  bana
(Dm) - (D#m) - (Em)
