Carol Chords by Al Stewart

[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [A] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ Sometimes [B] it seems [Em] _
unimaginable that [Am] you were ever any [B] other way
_ [Am] With your white rose face and your [Em]
open clothes
[Am] Embroidered jeans and [B] silver chains
[G] You're a well-known [B] face in [Em] all the hangout places
[A] Where the love souls _ [B]
congregate
_ [Am] You said all night but you [Em] talked too fast
[Am] I don't know what you're trying [B] to say
_ [Em] Oh, Carol, _ [D] [C] I think it's time for [Am] running the [Em] cover
_ [D] [C] Uh-huh, _ _ [Em] believe me
[C] You're every once in a while [Em] a slumber
Uh [C]-huh, _ you got [Am] a one-way ticket [B] for all your _ _ [Em] _ _ yesterdays _
_ _ [G] I know [B] your daddy [Em] said he'd talk to you
But [Am] he never really found [B] the time
_ [Am] And your TV mother [Em] with her cocktail _ [Am] eyes
Could never really reach [B] your mind
_ [G] So you fixed [B] your star [Em] to a passing dream
[A] And took a cocaine _ [B]
holiday
_ [A] Now the air's floral and [Em] you're in a muddy stream
[Am] You need another place [B] to stay
_ [Em] Oh, Carol, _ [D] [C] I think it's time for [Am] running [Em] the cover
_ [Bm] [C] Uh-huh, _ _ [Em] believe me
[D] [C] You're every once in a while [Em] a slumber
_ [D] _ [C]
Uh-huh, you [Am] got a one-way ticket [B] for all your _ [Em] _ _ yesterdays _
_ _ [G] _ Reach down, _ [D]
silver ship from [Em] the stars
I know [A] you're mad, _ _ [G] I know _ [D]
you'll understand me
[Em] You can take me anywhere, [A] _
_ _ [G] I know you must be [A] mad
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [B] [G] Well, sometimes [B] it seems [Em]
impossible
_ [Am] That the game could get [B] that rough
_ [Am] But the stage is set, [Em]
the exit's [Am] barred
And the makeup [B] won't come off
[G] So you make [B] your vow to [Em] the bar
You [A] light another [B] _
cigarette
[Am] And the light's gripping [Em] as the music [Am] starts
And it's easy to [B] _
forget
[Em] Oh, Carol, [D] _ [C]
I think it's time for [Em] running the cover
[C] Uh-huh, _ _ [Em] believe me
[D]
[C] You're every once in a while [Em] a slumber
_ [C] Uh-huh, _ [Am] you got a one-way ticket [B]
for all your _ _ [Em] _ _ _
yesterdays
_ _ [G] Reach down, _ [D] silver ship [Em] from the stars
I know [A] you're mad, _ _ _ [G] I know _ [D] you'll understand me
[Em] You can take me [A] anywhere, _ _ [G] I know you must be [A] mad
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
