Pina Colada Escape Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Jack Johnson
[Verse 1]

                   D                            A
You know I love my lady, we've been together to long
                  D                      A
Like a worn out recording of my favorite song
                       D                            A
So while she lay there sleepin' I read the paper in bed
                    D                                A 
And in the personal columns, there was this letter I read 


[Chorus 1]

                   D                               A
If you like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain
                     D                        A
If you're not into yoga, if you have half a brain
                           D                            A
If you like making love at midnight in the dunes of the cape
                                      D                     A
Then I'm the lady that you've looked for, write to me and escape


[Picking]

                     D                                   A

[Verse 2]

                        D                                A
I didn't think about my lady, I know that sounds kind of mean
                   D                       A
But me and my old lady had fallen into the same old dull routine
                  D                          A
So I wrote to the paper, took out a personal ad
                        D                              A
And though I'm nobody's poet, I thought it wasn't half bad


[Chorus 2]

                   D                               A                      
Yes, I like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain
                  D                          A
I'm not much into health food, I am into champagne
                          D                                A
I've got to meet you by tomorrow, cut through all this red tape
                D                                       A
At a bar called Scr*ppy Malloy's where we'll plan our escape


[Repeat Picking]


[Verse 3]

                 D                                 A                    
So I waited with high hopes then she walked in the place
                       D                                A
I knew her smile in an instant, I knew the curve of her face
                     D                            A
It was my own lovely lady and she said, "Oh, it's you."
                       D                          A
Then we laughed for a moment and I said, "I never knew"


[Chorus 3]

                              D                               A
I never knew you liked pina coladas and gettin' caught in the rain
                    D                          A
And the feel of the ocean and the taste of champagne
                           D                            A
If you like making love at midnight in the dunes on the cape
                     D                              A
You're the lady I've looked for, come with me and escape
