The 1978 song "Copacabana" was inspired by the real-life nightclub of the same name and the story in the song was later turned into a musical stage-show.
A fun tune to play - I hope you enjoy the letter notes below :)
AÂ Â Â Â ^CÂ Â ^DÂ ^F-Bb
Her name was Lola,
^FÂ Â ^EÂ Â ^DÂ ^E-A
She was a showgirl
AÂ Â Â Â ^C-^DÂ Â ^E-^FÂ Â ^EÂ ^FÂ ^E
With yellow feathers in her hair
^CÂ Â AÂ Â Â BÂ Â Â Â BÂ Â Â Â BÂ Â Â AÂ Â Â B
And a dress cut down to there
AÂ Â Â ^CÂ Â Â Â ^D-^F-Bb
She would merengue
^FÂ Â ^EÂ Â ^DÂ Â ^E-A
And do the cha-cha
AÂ Â Â ^CÂ Â ^DÂ Â Â ^EÂ Â ^EÂ ^EÂ ^FÂ ^E-^D?
And while she tried to be a star
^C-G#Â Â A-BÂ Â ^C-^DÂ ^E
Tony always tended bar
^C - AÂ Â Â EÂ Â Â G#-BÂ Â Â Â A
Across the crowded floor
^CÂ Â Â Â Â Â AÂ Â Â Â Â Â EÂ Â Â Â G#Â Â BÂ Â A
They worked from eight til four
AÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â EÂ Â Â Â Â F
They were young
GÂ Â Â Â Â AÂ Â Â Â BÂ Â ^CÂ Â ^D-B
And they had each other
^DÂ Â Â Â ^DÂ Â ^EÂ Â ^EÂ Â ^E
Who could ask for more?
^D ^E ^F-Bb ^F-^E-^D-^E-A
At the copa, Copacabana
AÂ Â Â Bb-^CÂ Â ^DÂ Â ^FÂ Â ^EÂ Â ^D-^E-A
The hottest spot north of Havana
^E ^D ^F-Bb ^F-^E-^D-^E-^D
At the copa, Copacabana
^F-^EÂ Â ^FÂ ^E-^D
Music and passion
^EÂ Â Â ^D-^CÂ Â ^DÂ Â ^E-^C
Were always the fashion
^D ^E ^F-^D
At the copa
AÂ Â Â Â G#Â Â FÂ Â E
They fell in love...
