Played on bass. At the five you enter singing.
[Verse 1]
GI was out cruisin', gettin' late and I was losin'
When I saw you walkin' mDy way
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want
But so do I and I ain't losin' tGoday
GWell your hips were swingin' and your jeans were clingin'
You were driving me out of my miDnd
On a hot afternoon when there's nothin' to do
You're not the sort of thing a fellow should finGd
GSo I pulled on over, tossed your hair off your shoulder
As you turned and you looked my Dway
Oh you would have died or you'd have skinned me alive
If I'd have said what I wanted to Gsay
GSo bein' polite said what you doin' tonight
You said it just so happens I'm Dfree
You got all the right curves and all the right words
And that's alright by GmeG7  
[Chorus]
COh Carol you got me eatin' my heart Gaway,
GYou got me countin' my nights and Ddays
Oh I'm floatin' on the milky wayG-ay-ay-ay,G7  
COh Carol, nobody's done it beforGe
Oh baby you've opened the Ddoor,
DOh Carol you can do it some Gmore
[Verse 2]
GWell if you're ready for this when we started to kiss
She said hold on a minute or Dtwo
Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me
I said baby what's troublin' Gyou
GShe said I'm not sixteen if you know what I mean
So we sat and we talked for a whDile
But when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist
And I must say she did it witGh style
[Chorus]
COh Carol you got me eatin' my heart Gaway,
GYou got me countin' my nights and Ddays
Oh I'm floatin' on the milky wayG-ay-ay-ay,G7  
COh Carol, nobody's done it beforGe
Oh baby you've opened the Ddoor,
DOh Carol you can do it some Gmore
[Solo Сhords]
Maybe a G7 if you want, then, the same as the verse:
GThDen GyoDu gGo Dinto the verse and play a more staccato sound (this verse only):
[Verse 3]
GWell I was out cruisin', gettin' late and I was losin'
When I saw you walking my Dway
So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want
But so do I and I ain't losin' tGoday
[Chorus]
COh Carol you got me eatin' my heart Gaway,
GYou got me countin' my nights and Ddays
Oh I'm floatin' on the milky wayG-ay-ay-ay,G7

Played on bass. At the five you enter singing.

[Verse 1]

I was out cruisin', gettin' late and I was losin'

When I saw you walkin' my way

So nonchalant, I bet you get what you want

But so do I and I ain't losin' today

Well your hips were swingin' and your jeans were clingin'

You were driving me out of my mind

On a hot afternoon when there's nothin' to do

You're not the sort of thing a fellow should find

So I pulled on over, tossed your hair off your shoulder

As you turned and you looked my way

Oh you would have died or you'd have skinned me alive

If I'd have said what I wanted to say

So bein' polite said what you doin' tonight

You said it just so happens I'm free

You got all the right curves and all the right words

G G7

And that's alright by me

[Chorus]

C G

Oh Carol you got me eatin' my heart away,

G D

You got me countin' my nights and days

G G7

Oh I'm floatin' on the milky way-ay-ay-ay,

C G

Oh Carol, nobody's done it before

Oh baby you've opened the door,

D G

Oh Carol you can do it some more

[Verse 2]

Well if you're ready for this when we started to kiss

She said hold on a minute or two

Well naturally I knew it couldn't be me

I said baby what's troublin' you

She said I'm not sixteen if you know what I mean

So we sat and we talked for a while

But when we finally kissed you know she didn't resist

And I must say she did it with style

[Chorus]

C G

Oh Carol you got me eatin' my heart away,

G D

You got me countin' my nights and days

G G7

Oh I'm floatin' on the milky way-ay-ay-ay,

C G

Oh Carol, nobody's done it before

Oh baby you've opened the door,

D G

Oh Carol you can do it some more

[Solo Сhords]

Then you go into the verse and play a more staccato sound (this verse only):

[Verse 3]
