Lola  Kinks



The fingerpicking in this song is pretty simple. You just hit the
bass string once, then pick the E B G strings, the exact notes are
not important, just do it in the right rhythm.
Intro:

[C]     [D]   [E]                             
Here's approximately how the picking goes:
     [C]                   [D]                                                        
E|---0----0----0-0-0-0--2-2----0---0----0----0-----0---------|
B|---1----1----1-1-1-1--3-3----0-----0----0----0--------0----|
G|---0----0----0-0-0-0--2-2----1-------1----1----1----1---1--|
D|---2----2----2-2-2-2--0-0----2-----------------------------|
A|---3----3----3-3-3-3---------2-----------------------------|
E|-----------------------------0-----------------------------|

Verse 1: (see tab below for picking)
I me[E]t her in a club down in old Soho
where you d[A]rink champagne and it t[D]astes just like coca c[E]ola
         [A]    [Asus4]      [A]                                                             
C-O-L-A, cola


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

TAB FOR VERSE 1: it's impossible to tab out the picking exactly right -
it seems almost random - but this is as close as I could get
    [E]                             [A]              [D]                                 
E|-----0----0----0----0------------0----0--------2----2------
B|-------0----0----0-------0---------2----2--------3----3----
G|---------1----1----1---1---1---------2----2--------2----2--
D|---------------------------------------------0-------------
A|-------------------------------0---------------------------
E|--0--------------------------------------------------------

I met her... ...you drink... ...tastes just like...
     [E]                            [A]                                               
E------0----0----0-----4--2--0----0----0------------------
B--------0----0---------------------2----2---2---2-2-3-2--
G----------1----1--1--4---2--1--------2----2----2--2-2-2--
D---------------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------0------------------------
E----0----------------------------------------------------
   Coca-cola...    ...c-o-l-a, cola

                                        [E]                             [A]   [D] 
E------0----0----0----0------------0----0--------2----2------
B--------0----0----0-------0---------2----2--------3----3----
G----------1----1----1---1---1---------2----2--------2----2--
D----------------------------------------------0-------------
A--------------------------------0---------------------------
E---0--------------------------------------------------------

She walked up... ...I asked... ...dark brown voice...
                                         [E]                            [A]              [D]                                 
E------0------0-------0---0--------0----0--------2----2------
B------------------------------------2----2--------3----3----
G--------1-1----1-1-----1---1----------2----2--------2----2--
D----------------------------------------------0-------------
A--------------------------------0---------------------------
E----0-------------------------------------------------------
  ...Lola...         ...l-o-l-a, Lola...      ...lo lo lo lo

                                           [C]              [C]           [D]   [E]                                             
E-----0----0------0-0-0-0--0-2--0----|
B-------1----1----1-1-1-1--1-3--0----|  Then the acoustic guitar
G---------0----0--0-0-0-0--0-2--1----|  keeps strumming the E chord
D-----------------2-2-2-2--2-0--2----|  while the electric plays
A---3-------------3-3-3-3--3----2----|  FILL 1 that is tabbed out
E-------------------------------0----|  below.

Lola
FILL 1: b = bend up r = release bend
h = hammer-on p = pull-off
   [E]                                                                            
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---9-9-9-9----9-11b13r11-9-----------------------------------------|
D|---9-9-9-9-----------------11p9----------------------9-----9h11-9--|
A|--------------------------------11-9----9/11----9h11----11---------|
E|-------------------------------------12----------------------------|

Verse 2 and the rest of the song is just strummed. The only thing
to remember is that the electric guitar sometimes throws in two
little fills, one on the E chord, and one on the D chord.
E-chord Fill: D-chord Fill:
   E|--4-4--2--0--|         E|--2-2--0-----|
   B|--0-0--0--0--|         B|--3-3--3--3--|
   G|--4-4--2--1--|         G|--2-2--2--2--|
   D|-------------|         D|-------------|
   A|-------------|         A|-------------|
   E|-------------|         E|-------------|

Verse 2:
Well [E]I'm not the worlds most physical guy
but when she [A]squeezed me tight
she nearly [D]broke my spine, oh my [E]Lola
Lo lo lo lo [A]Lola[Asus4]      [A]
Well I[E]'m not dumb but I can't understand
why she [A]walked like a woman and [D]talked like a man
oh my [E]Lola
A D C C D E (play FILL 1)
Lo lo lo lo Lola Lo lo lo lo Lola
Chorus:
        [B]                             
Well we drank champagne and danced all night
[F#]under electric candlelight
She [A]picked me up and sat me on her knee
and said 'Dear boy, won't you come home with me'

Verse 3:
Well [E]I'm not the world's most passionate guy
but when I [A]looked in her eye, well I [D]almost fell for my [E]Lola
Lo lo lo lo [A]Lola  [D] Lo lo lo lo [C]Lola  [C]   [D]
E A D C C D E (play FILL 1)
Lola, Lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola

Bridge:
I [A]pushed [C#m]her a[B]way
I [A]walked [C#m]to the [B]door
I [A]fell [C#m]to the [B]floor
I [E]got d[G#m]own on[C#m] my knees
Then [B]I looked at her and she at me
VERSE 4: (the fingerpicking is pretty much the same as in Verse 1)
Well[E] that's the way that I want it to stay
and I [A]always want it to [D]be that way for my [E]Lola
Lo lo lo lo [A]Lola [Asus4]      [A]
[E]Girls will be boys and boys will be girls
It's a[A] mixed up, muddled up,[D] shook up world except for[E] Lola
Lo lo lo lo [A]Lola

Chorus:
Well I l[B]eft home just a week before
And [F#]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'
Verse 5:
Well I'm[E] not the worlds most passionate man
but I[A] know what I am and I'm[D] glad I'm a man
and so is [E]Lola, lo lo lo lo [A]lola   [D]   Lo lo lo lo [C]Lola  [C]  [D]

Outro:
