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.
[G]I was out cruisin', gettin' late and I was losin'
When I saw you walkin' m[D]y way
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want
But so do I and I ain't losin' t[G]oday
[G]Well your hips were swingin' and your jeans were clingin'
You were driving me out of my mi[D]nd
On a hot afternoon when there's nothin' to do
You're not the sort of thing a fellow should fin[G]d
[G]So I pulled on over, tossed your hair off your shoulder
As you turned and you looked my [D]way
Oh you would have died or you'd have skinned me alive
If I'd have said what I wanted to [G]say
[G]So bein' polite said what you doin' tonight
You said it just so happens I'm [D]free
You got all the right curves and all the right words
And that's alright by[G] me[G7]
CHORUS:
[C]Oh Carol you got me eatin' my heart [G]away,
[G]You got me countin' my nights and [D]days
Oh I'm floatin' on the milky way[G]-ay-ay-ay,[G7]
[C]Oh Carol, nobody's done it befor[G]e
Oh baby you've opened the [D]door,
[D]Oh Carol you can do it some [G]more
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/smokie/oh_carol_crd.html )
[G]Well if you're ready for this when we started to kiss
She said hold on a minute or [D]two
Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me
I said baby what's troublin' [G]you
[G]She said I'm not sixteen if you know what I mean
So we sat and we talked for a wh[D]ile
But when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist
And I must say she did it wit[G]h style
CHORUS:
[C]Oh Carol you got me eatin' my heart [G]away,
[G]You got me countin' my nights and [D]days
Oh I'm floatin' on the milky way[G]-ay-ay-ay,[G7]
[C]Oh Carol, nobody's done it befor[G]e
Oh baby you've opened the [D]door,
[D]Oh Carol you can do it some [G]more
Solo chords:
Maybe a G7 if you want, then , the same as the verse:
[G]Th[D]en [G]yo[D]u g[G]o [D]into the verse and play a more stacatto sound(this verse only):
[G]Well I was out cruisin', gettin' late and I was losin'
When I saw you walking my [D]way
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want
But so do I and I ain't losin' t[G]oday
CHORUS:
[C]Oh Carol you got me eatin' my heart [G]away,
[G]You got me countin' my nights and [D]days
Oh I'm floatin' on the milky way[G]-ay-ay-ay,[G7]
[C]Oh Carol, nobody's done it befor[G]e
Oh baby you've opened the [D]door,
[D]Oh Carol you can do it some [G]more
Have fun with it, I cerainly do.
