Intro:  C/G - C/G - C/G - C/G - D - E 

E
I met her in a club down in old Soho
            A                  
where you drink champagne 
        D                       E            A    D
and it tastes just like cherry Cola C-O-L-A Cola

     E
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
  A
I asked her name 
          D                         E            A   D
and in a dark brown voice she said Lola L-O-L-A lola
            C   D E
lo lo lo lo lola
 

Well I'm not the world's most physical guy
But when she sqeezed me tight 
she nearly broke my spine Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola


Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman but talked like a man
Oh my Lola lo lo lo lo Lola lo lo lo lo Lola


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

Well I'm not the world's most passionate guy
But when I looked in her eyes 
well I almost fell for my Lola lo lo lo lo lola
lo lo lo lo lola

 E                A    D
lola lo lo lo lo lola
             C D E
lo lo lo lo lola

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

Well that's the way that I want it to stay
And I always want it 
to be that way for my Lola lo lo lo lo lola

Girl will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a mixed up muddled up 
shook up world except for Lola lo lo lo lo lola

Well I left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
And said "Dear boy, I'm gonna make you a man"

Well I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am 
and I'm glad that I'm a man and so is lola lo lo lo lo lola
lo lo lo lo lola

lola lo lo lo lo lola
lo lo lo lo lola

lola lo lo lo lo lola
lo lo lo lo lola

How to practise this song

1
Practise the barre chord Ab
Ab is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

2
Practise the change: A7 ↔ A
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
