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

She picked me up and sat me on her knee

          |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...)

From: Matt Date: 2 March, 2010 Ive Noticed Everywhere That No-one Has The Actual Tuning For The Studio Version of The Song. As Ive Used Your SIte Many Times For the Kinks Hits & Playing ALong With them I Thought I'd Bring It To Your Attention That I Am 99.9% Sure LOLA Is Tuned Down by -40 On A Tuner Which Is Inbetween: E & Db ~ for E String (Top) B & A# ~ for B String G & F# ~ for G String D & C# ~ for D String A & G# ~ for A String E & Db ~ for E String (Bottom) Hope That makes Sense. I Don't Know What The Measurement Is On Tuners Be It (db) or (Hrtz).
