I met her in a club down in old Soho where they

A                      D                      |
drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry

E            |A
cola  C-O-L-A cola

   |E
she walked up to me and she asked me to dance

 |A                           D                        |
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said

E            |A    D            |C        D |E     |E
Lola  L-O-L-A Lola   Lo lo lo lo Lo - la

        |B7                                  |

          |A                          D                 |
but when I looked in her eyes, well I almost fell for my

E                |A        D           |C       D |
Lola  Lo lo lo lo Lo - la   Lo lo lo lo Lo - la

E                |A        D           |C       D |E     |E
Lola  Lo lo lo lo Lo - la   Lo lo lo lo Lo - la

 |A      E    B
I pushed her away

 |A      E      B
I walked to the door

 |A    E      B
I fell to the floor

     |E    G#7   C#m
I got down on my knees

    |B                          B13
Then I looked at her and she at me

     |E
Well, that's the way that I want it to stay...

(That's enough; you get the idea.  Yeah, I know I skipped a verse...)
