Smokie - Oh Carol

So here it is, simple chords and patter, some tongue twisting lyrics :) and as a result beautiful, worth of learning song.

As most of Smokie songs are, this one follows the 12-bar blues pattern,i might be here not talking about a blues song, but it's what I call it.

Starts with:

D--0--2--4--5--

Played on bass.At the five you enter singing.

GI was out cruisin', gettin' late and I was losin'

DWhen I saw you walkin' my way

So nonchalant, I bet you get what you wantG

But so do I and I ain't losin' today

GWell your hips were swingin' and your jeans were clingin'

DYou were driving me out of my mind

On a hot afternoon when there's nothin' to doG

You're not the sort of thing a fellow should find

GSo I pulled on over, tossed your hair off your shoulder

DAs you turned and you looked my way

Oh you would have died or you'd have skinned me alive G

If I'd have said what I wanted to say

GSo bein' polite said what you doin' tonight

DYou said it just so happens I'm free

You got all the right curves and all the right words G G7

And that's alright by me

CHORUS:

C GOh Carol you got me eatin' my heart away,G DYou got me countin' my nights and days

G G7Oh I'm floatin' on the milky way-ay-ay-ay,C GOh Carol, nobody's done it before

DOh baby you've opened the door,D GOh Carol you can do it some more

GWell if you're ready for this when we started to kiss

DShe said hold on a minute or two

Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me G

I said baby what's troublin' youGShe said I'm not sixteen if you know what I mean

DSo we sat and we talked for a while

But when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist G

And I must say she did it with style

CHORUS:C GOh Carol you got me eatin' my heart away,G DYou got me countin' my nights and days

G G7Oh I'm floatin' on the milky way-ay-ay-ay,C GOh Carol, nobody's done it before

DOh baby you've opened the door,D GOh Carol you can do it some more

Solo chords:Maybe a G7 if you want, then , the same as the verse:G D G D G DThen you go into the verse and play a more stacatto sound(this verse only):

GWell I was out cruisin', gettin' late and I was losin'

DWhen I saw you walking my way

So nonchalant, I bet you get what you wantG

But so do I and I ain't losin' today

CHORUS:C GOh Carol you got me eatin' my heart away,G DYou got me countin' my nights and days

G G7Oh I'm floatin' on the milky way-ay-ay-ay,C GOh Carol, nobody's done it before

DOh baby you've opened the door,D GOh Carol you can do it some more
