And in the (C9)per son al col umns,
there was this (F6)let ter I read:
If you like (C9)pi ña co (F)la das
and get ting (F6)caught in the (Cmaj7)rain,
if you’re (C9)not in to (F)yo ga,

if you like (C9)mak ing love at (F)mid row night
in the (F6)dunes (Cmaj7)of the (Cmaj7)Cape,
then I’m the (C9)love that you’ve (F)looked for,
