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: --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 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 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 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 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.
