Smokie é uma banda Inglesa de Glam Rock que ficou conhecida na Europa nos anos 70. A banda passou por várias mudanças em sua formação mas continua gravando discos e fazendo turnês pela Europa.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
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.
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 GG7 And that's alright by me
[Chorus]
CG Oh Carol you got me eatin' my heart away, GD You got me countin' my nights and days GG7 Oh I'm floatin' on the milky way-ay-ay-ay, CG Oh Carol, nobody's done it before D Oh baby you've opened the door, DG 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]
CG Oh Carol you got me eatin' my heart away, GD You got me countin' my nights and days GG7 Oh I'm floatin' on the milky way-ay-ay-ay, CG Oh Carol, nobody's done it before D Oh baby you've opened the door, DG Oh Carol you can do it some more
[Solo ?hords]
Maybe a G7 if you want, then , the same as the verse: GDGDGD 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]
CG Oh Carol you got me eatin' my heart away, GD You got me countin' my nights and days GG7 Oh I'm floatin' on the milky way-ay-ay-ay, CG Oh Carol, nobody's done it before D Oh baby you've opened the door, DG Oh Carol you can do it some more
