His name was Rico

 He wore a diamond
         LAm7/5-       RE7
He was escorted to his chair 
       SOLm7
He saw Lola dancing there

And when she finished 
LAb/SIb        MIb7+
 He called her over
         LAm7/5-        RE7
But Rico went a bit too far 
     SOLm7
Tony sailed across the bar
 
             DOdim RE7  SOLm
And then the pun---ches flew
                DOdim   RE7 SOLm
And chairs were smashed in  two

Still in the dress she used to wear
      SOLm7
Faded feathers in her hair
 
               DOdim RE7 SOLm
She sits there so    re--fined
              DOdim RE7  SOLm
And drinks herself  half-blind
             DOm                    RE7
