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' 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 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 chords: 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): 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.
