Carol chords by Al Stewart

Chords with lyrics

G+G      B7B7      E minorEm
Sometimes it seems unimaginable
       A minorAm        B7B7
That you were ever any other way
      A minorAm            E minorEm
With your white rose face and your orphan clothes,
           A minorAm     B7B7
Embroidered jeans and silver chains
G+G              B7B7          E minorEm
You're a well known face in all the hang-out places
       A minorAm        B7B7
Where the lost souls congregate
A minorAm           E minorEm
And you sit all night, but you talk too fast
A minorAm                   B7B7
And I don't know what you're trying to say.

Chorus
E minorEm   C majorC D MajorD                 E minorEm   D MajorD C majorC
Oh Carol, I think it's time for running for cover, uh hunh
E minorEm    C majorC D MajorD               E minorEm   D MajorD C majorC
Believe me, you're everyone's and nobody's lover, uh hunh
A minorAm             B7B7          E minorEm
You've got a one-way ticket for all your yesterdays.

G+G              B7B7   E minorEm
I know your daddy said he'd talk to you
       A minorAm        B7B7
But he never really found the time
      A minorAm       B7B7    E minorEm
And your tv mother with her cocktail eyes
       A minorAm        B7B7
Could never really reach your mind
G+G         B7B7      E minorEm
So you fixed your star to a passing dream
      A minorAm      B7B7
And took a cocaine holiday
A minorAm                E minorEm
Now the years flow round you in a muddy stream
A minorAm               B7B7
And you need another place to stay.

Chorus
E minorEm   C majorC D MajorD                 E minorEm   D MajorD C majorC
Oh Carol, I think it's time for running for cover, uh hunh
E minorEm    C majorC D MajorD               E minorEm   D MajorD C majorC
Believe me, you're everyone's and nobody's lover, uh hunh
A minorAm             B7B7          E minorEm
You've got a one-way ticket for all your yesterdays.

G+G         D MajorD           E minorEm      A augmentedA
Reach down, silvery ship from the stars, I know you're there,
  G+G       D MajorD          E minorEm     A augmentedA
I know you'll understand me, you can take me anywhere,
G+G         A augmentedA
I know you must be there...

G+G         B7B7      E minorEm
Sometimes it seems impossible
       A minorAm        B7B7
That the game could get that rough
             A minorAm     E minorEm
But the stage is set, the exit's barred
       A minorAm       B7B7
And the make-up won't come off
G+G         B7B7      E minorEm
So you make your bow to the balcony,
      A minorAm      B7B7
You light another cigarette
A minorAm           E minorEm
and the lights grow dim as the music starts
A minorAm        E minorEm
And it's easy to forget.

Chorus
E minorEm   C majorC D MajorD                 E minorEm   D MajorD C majorC
Oh Carol, I think it's time for running for cover, uh hunh
E minorEm    C majorC D MajorD               E minorEm   D MajorD C majorC
Believe me, you're everyone's and nobody's lover, uh hunh
A minorAm             B7B7          E minorEm
You've got a one-way ticket for all your yesterdays.

G+G         D MajorD           E minorEm      A augmentedA
Reach down, silvery ship from the stars, I know you're there,
  G+G       D MajorD          E minorEm     A augmentedA
I know you'll understand me, you can take me anywhere,
G+G         A augmentedA
I know you must be there...
