Lola
1. I met her in a club down in
old Soho,
A D
where
you drink champagne and it tastes just like
E A
cherry
cola, seeohelay cola.
E
She
walked up to me and she asked me to dance,
A D
And
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said
E A D C C-D-E ~ ~
“Lola,“elohelay Lola, la la la
la Lola.
2. Well, I´m not the world`s most physical guy,
A D
but when she squeezed me tight she nearly
broke my spine,
E A
oh, my
Lola, la la la la Lola.
E
Well, I`m not dumb, but I can`t understand,
A D
why
she walked like a woman and talked like a man,
E A D C C-D-E ~ ~
oh, my
Lola, la la la la Lola, la la la
la Lola.
Well, we drank champagne and danced all night,
F#m
under electric candle light,
A
she
picked me up and sat me on her knee,
3. Well, I`m not the world`s most passionate
guy,
A D
but
when I looked in her eyes, well, I almost fell for my
E A D C C- D -
Lola,
la la la la Lola, la la la la Lola.
E A
D C C-D-E
~ ~
Lola,
la la la la Lola, la la la la Lola.
I pushed her away, I walked to the door, I fell to the floor,
A F#m
C#m H7
I
got down to my knees. Then I looked at her and she at me.
E
Well, that`s the way that I want it to stay,
A D E A
and I always want it to be that way for my Lola, la la la la Lola.
4. Girls will be boys and boys will be girls,
A
D
it`s
a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world except for
E A
B7
Lola,
la la la la Lola. Well, I left home just a week before,
F#m
and I`d never kissed a woman before,
A
but Lola smiled and took me by
the hand
5. Well, I`m not the world`s most masculine
man,
A
D
but
I know what I am and I`m glad I`m a man and so is
E A D C C-D- + E
+ Lola,
la la la la Lola, la la la la Lola. (rep. 4 times)
