This is what I play, Capo on second fret to play along with the original
A D
La, La La La, La, La la la
A D
La, La La La, La, La la la
A D
She's working as a waitress in Dublin,
G A
Filling up the tourists with beer,
G A D G
Stashing away a little cash every day,
G A D
For a ticket to ride out of here,
A D
Every night she feels a little bit older,
A D
Every day a little wetter and colder,
G A D G
No more rain for this Irish Rose,
G A
She's gonna go (She's gonna go!) where the palm trees grow.
Refrain:
D A
She wants a Pina Colada in a pint glass...
D A
She wants to be where the summer won't stop,
G A
She wants gin clear water and milk white sand,
G A
A sunburned nose and a drink in her hand
G A D
With a pink umbrella on top!
A D
She's standing in line at the chipper,
G A
Waiting for her curry and peas,
G A D G
But dying for some of that papaya and rum,
G A D
And the kiss of a coconut breeze,
A D
Every night she feels a little bit older,
A D
Every day a little wetter and colder,
G A D G
She's bought a thong bikini and a big straw hat
G A
She's gonna go and she's not coming back!
Refrain:
D A
She wants a Piña Colada in a pint glass...
D A
She wants to be where the summer won't stop,
G A
She wants gin clear water and milk white sand,
G A
A sunburned nose and a drink in her hand
G A D
With a pink umbrella on top!
A D
Every night she feels a little bit older,
A D
Every day a little wetter and colder,
A D
She's cleaning up the tables on Sunday,
G A
But she's dreaming of the tropical night,
G A D G
Another five or ten in her pocket and then,
G A D
She'll be closer to the price of a flight!
A D
Every night she feels a little bit older,
A D
Every day a little wetter and colder,
G A D G
She plays Beach Boys records and she dances alone,
G A
And before (before) before she goes home...
