Carol

[Verse]

G B7 Em

Sometimes it seems unimaginable

Am B7

That you were ever any other way

Am Em

With your white rose face and your orphan clothes,

Am B7

Embroidered jeans and silver chains

G B7 Em

You're a well known face in all the hang-out places

Am B7

Where the lost souls congregate

Am Em

And you sit all night, but you talk too fast

Am B7

And I don't know what you're trying to say.

[Chorus]

Em D C Em D C

Oh Carol, I think it's time for running for cover, uh hunh

Em D C Em D C

Believe me, you're everyone's and nobody's lover, uh hunh

Am B7 Em

You've got a one-way ticket for all your yesterdays.

[Verse]

G B7 Em

I know your daddy said he'd talk to you

Am B7

But he never really found the time

Am Em

And your tv mother with her cocktail eyes

Am B7

Could never really reach your mind

G B7 Em

So you fixed your star to a passing dream

Am B7

And took a cocaine holiday

Am Em

Now the years flow round you in a muddy stream

Am B7

And you need another place to stay.

[Chorus]

Em D C Em D C

Oh Carol, I think it's time for running for cover, uh hunh

Em D C Em D C

Believe me, you're everyone's and nobody's lover, uh hunh

Am B7 Em

You've got a one-way ticket for all your yesterdays.

[Verse]

G D Em A

Reach down, silvery ship from the stars, I know you're there,

G D Em A

I know you'll understand me, you can take me anywhere,

G A

I know you must be there...

[Solo]

G / D / Em / Bm/ Am /

Em//G D Em//G D

[Bridge]

G B7 Em

Sometimes it seems impossible

Am B7

That the game could get that rough

Am Em

But the stage is set, the exit's barred

Am B7

And the make-up won't come off

G B7 Em

So you make your bow to the balcony,

Am B7

You light another cigarette

Am Em

and the lights grow dim as the music starts

Am Em

And it's easy to forget.

[Chorus]

Em D C Em D C

Oh Carol, I think it's time for running for cover, uh hunh

Em D C Em D C

Believe me, you're everyone's and nobody's lover, uh hunh

Am B7 Em

You've got a one-way ticket for all your yesterdays.

G D Em A

Reach down, silvery ship from the stars, I know you're there,

G D Em A

I know you'll understand me, you can take me anywhere,

G A

I know you must be there...
