LOLA
Kinks


INTRO:  C    D  E

VERSE 1:
E
I met her in a club down in old Soho
          A                      D                     E
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like Coca Cola
         A     Asus4 A
C-O-L-A, cola
    E
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
  A                           D                         E
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola
         A     D             C     C  D   E
L-O-L-A, Lola,   Lo lo lo lo Lola

VERSE 2: (like VERSE 1)
Well I'm not the worlds most physical guy
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine, oh my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man, Oh my Lola
Lo lo lo lo Lola,     Lo lo lo lo Lola

CHORUS:
        B
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
F#
Under electric candlelight
    A
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
A                                 A7
And said dear boy, won't you come home with me

VERSE 3:
     E
Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
           A                         D                  E
But when I looked in her eye, well I almost fell for my Lola
            A     D             C     C  D  E
Lo lo lo lo Lola,   Lo lo lo lo Lola,       Lola
            A     D             C     C  D  E
Lo lo lo lo Lola,   Lo lo lo lo Lola

BRIDGE:
  A      C#m  B        A      C#m    B
I pushed her away,   I walked to the door
  A    C#m    B            E    G#m   C#m
I fell to the floor, I got down on my knees
     B
Then I looked at her and she at me

VERSE 4:
     E
Well that's the way that I want it to stay
      A                 D                  E
and I always want it to be that way for my Lola
            A     Asus4 A
Lo lo lo lo Lola
E
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
       A                     D                         E
It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world except for Lola
            A     Asus4 A
Lo lo lo lo Lola

CHORUS:
     B
Well I left home just a week before
    F#
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
A
Lola smiled and took me by the hand
A                                 A7
And said dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man
   
VERSE 5:
     E
Well I'm not the worlds most passionate man
      A                      D                         E
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man, And so is Lola
            A     D             C     C D  
Lo lo lo lo Lola,   Lo lo lo lo Lola

OUTRO:
E                  A     D             C     C D  (repeat)
Lola,  Lo lo lo lo Lola,   Lo lo lo lo Lola
