G 
It was a windy day down Malibu way 
  
                       D7 
The California sun was shining  


I was in no hurry sipping Bloody Mary’s 

                         G 
And I fell asleep by the ocean  



Then a lovely lady in a blue Mercedes 
  
               G7          C 
Parked her car down by the sea  

                              G 
She stepped into the sand and took me by the hand  

       D7                  G 
And we traveled away in my dreams  


             C 
And we drank Pina Coladas down in Puerto Rico 

                      G 
We tangoed in Montego Bay 
  
   D7 
We sipped Champaign in the summer rain 
  
                    G 
On a warm Caribbean day  


        C 
I put a pretty flower in her long black hair 

                        G 
Along the sands of Waikiki 
  
    D7 
And I left my heart in San Francisco 

                             G 
Where she first made love to me 

  

Then I awoke to the sound of the tide coming in 
  
                       D7 
And the sun was almost gone  


I didn't want to wake from my beautiful dream  

                        G 
But I had to take it on home 
  


Then somewhere in the evening came a heavenly voice  

                                 C 
Saying thank you for a wonderful day  

                               G 
Then the beautiful lady in the blue Mercedes  

       D7             G 
Blew a kiss and drove away 


             C 
And we drank Pina Coladas down in Puerto Rico 

                      G 
We tangoed in Montego Bay  

   D7 
We sipped Champaign in the summer rain 
  
                    G 
On a warm Caribbean day 


               C 
We stuffed our pockets full of pretty shells 

                               G 
While the trade winds blew all night 

   D7 
We bought mangos and bananas in the market place 

                          G 
And made love by the fire light 


             C 
And we drank Pina Coladas down in Puerto Rico 

                      G 
We tangoed in Montego Bay 
  
   D7 
We sipped Champaign in the summer rain  

                    G 
On a warm Caribbean day
