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
