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.
I was out cruisin', gettin' late and I was losin'
When I saw you walkin' my way
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want
But so do I and I ain't losin' today
Well your hips were swingin' and your jeans were clingin'
You were driving me out of my mind
On a hot afternoon when there's nothin' to do
You're not the sort of thing a fellow should find
So I pulled on over, tossed your hair off your shoulder
As you turned and you looked my way
Oh you would have died or you'd have skinned me alive
If I'd have said what I wanted to say
So bein' polite said what you doin' tonight
You said it just so happens I'm free
You got all the right curves and all the right words
And that's alright by me
CHORUS:
Oh Carol you got me eatin' my heart away,
You got me countin' my nights and days
Oh I'm floatin' on the milky way-ay-ay-ay,
Oh Carol, nobody's done it before
Oh baby you've opened the door,
Oh Carol you can do it some more
Well if you're ready for this when we started to kiss
She said hold on a minute or two
Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me
I said baby what's troublin' you
She said I'm not sixteen if you know what I mean
So we sat and we talked for a while
But when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist
And I must say she did it with style
CHORUS:
Oh Carol you got me eatin' my heart away,
You got me countin' my nights and days
Oh I'm floatin' on the milky way-ay-ay-ay,
Oh Carol, nobody's done it before
Oh baby you've opened the door,
Oh Carol you can do it some more
Solo chords:
Maybe a G7 if you want, then , the same as the verse:
Then you go into the verse and play a more stacatto sound(this verse only):
Well I was out cruisin', gettin' late and I was losin'
When I saw you walking my way
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want
But so do I and I ain't losin' today
CHORUS:
Oh Carol you got me eatin' my heart away,
You got me countin' my nights and days
Oh I'm floatin' on the milky way-ay-ay-ay,
Oh Carol, nobody's done it before
Oh baby you've opened the door,
Oh Carol you can do it some more
Have fun with it, I cerainly do.
I haven't got an electric guitar, okay only a bass one, but if you really want the solo
