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

She walked up to me and she asked me to dance

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

Chorus:

Well we drank champagne and danced all night
F#
Under electric candlelight
A
She picked me up and sat me on her knee
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/k/kinks/lola_crd_ver_4.html ]
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

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

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,

Lo lo lo lo Lola, Lo lo lo lo Lola
