Lola

												
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]

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

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


TAB FOR VERSE 1: it's impossible to tab out
the picking EXACTLY like it is, he picks the E B and G strings
kinda randomly, but this is as close as I could get)

C C D E
E-----0----0------0-0-0-0--0-2--0----|

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-----------------------------------------|

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|-------------|
