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:
e|--------------|
B|--------------|
G|--------------|
D|--0--2--4--5--|
A|--------------|
E|--------------|
Played on bass.At the five you enter singing.
[Verse 1]
G
I was out cruisin', gettin' late and I was losin'
D
When I saw you walkin' my way
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want
G
But so do I and I ain't losin' today
G
Well your hips were swingin' and your jeans were clingin'
D
You were driving me out of my mind
On a hot afternoon when there's nothin' to do
G
You're not the sort of thing a fellow should find
G
So I pulled on over, tossed your hair off your shoulder
D
As 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
G
So bein' polite said what you doin' tonight
D
You 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 G
Oh Carol you got me eatin' my heart away,
G D
You got me countin' my nights and days
G G7
Oh I'm floatin' on the milky way-ay-ay-ay,
C G
Oh Carol, nobody's done it before
D
Oh baby you've opened the door,
D G
Oh Carol you can do it some more
[Verse 2]
G
Well if you're ready for this when we started to kiss
D
She said hold on a minute or two
Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me
G
I said baby what's troublin' you
G
She said I'm not sixteen if you know what I mean
D
So 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 G
Oh Carol you got me eatin' my heart away,
G D
You got me countin' my nights and days
G G7
Oh I'm floatin' on the milky way-ay-ay-ay,
C G
Oh Carol, nobody's done it before
D
Oh baby you've opened the door,
D G
Oh Carol you can do it some more
[Solo ?hords]
Maybe a G7 if you want, then , the same as the verse:
G D G D G D
Then you go into the verse and play a more stacatto sound(this verse only):
[Verse 3]
G
Well I was out cruisin', gettin' late and I was losin'
D
When I saw you walking my way
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want
G
But so do I and I ain't losin' today
[Chorus]
C G
Oh Carol you got me eatin' my heart away,
G D
You got me countin' my nights and days
G G7
Oh I'm floatin' on the milky way-ay-ay-ay,
C G
Oh Carol, nobody's done it before
D
Oh baby you've opened the door,
D G
Oh Carol you can do it some more
Have fun with it, I cerainly do.
