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

     E
Well I'm not the world’s most physical guy
             A                            D                     E
but when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine, oh my Lola
            A    Asus4  A
Lo lo lo lo Lola
     E
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
        A                       D                       E
why she walked like a woman and talked like a man oh my Lola
            A     D             C      C   D   E
Lo lo lo lo Lola,   Lo lo lo lo Lola


[Fill 1]


[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

And said 'Dear boy, won't you come home with me'
     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
            A     D             C     C   D   E
Lo lo lo lo Lola,   Lo lo lo lo Lola


[Fill 1]


[Bridge]
  A      C#m B
I pushed her away
  A      C#m    B
I walked to the door
   A   C#m    B
I fell to the floor
      E    G#m   C#m
I got down on my knees
     B
Then I looked at her and she at me
(Picking freely… like verse 1)


     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
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

and said 'dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man'


     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   E
Lo lo lo lo Lola,   Lo lo lo lo Lola


[Outro]
            A     D             C     C   D   E
Lo lo lo lo Lola,   Lo lo lo lo Lola
            A     D             C     C   D   E
Lo lo lo lo Lola,   Lo lo lo lo Lola
            A     D             C     C   D   E
Lo lo lo lo Lola,   Lo lo lo lo Lola
            A     D             C     C   D   E
Lo lo lo lo Lola,   Lo lo lo lo Lola
