Her name was Lola
Bb7 Ebmaj7
She was a showgirl
Cm6 D7
With yellow feathers in her hair
Gm7
And a dress cut down to there

She would merengue
Bb7 Ebmaj7
And do the cha-cha
Cm6 D7
And while she tried to be a star
Gm7
Tony always tended bar
Cm D7 Gm
Across the cro-wded floor
Cm D7 Gm
They worked from eight til four
Cm D7
They were young and they had each other
Gm7 Gbm7 Fm7
Who could ask for more

His name was Rico
He wore a diamond
He was escorted to his chair
He saw Lola dancing there
And when she finished
He called her over
But Rico went a bit too far
Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew
And chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gunshot
But just who shot who?
Chorus
She lost her love

Her name is Lola
She was a showgirl
But that was thirty years ago
When they used to have a show
Now it's a disco
But not for Lola
Still in the dress she used to wear
Faded feathers in her hair
She sits there so refined
And drinks herself half-blind
She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
and she's lost her mind
chorus
