------The Kooks : Ooh La Acoustic------
=======================================
 
[Update]
Solo updated, Feb 22 08.
Yes the last solo was abit poor, this one is much more precise.
 
Note:
I thought the other versions of ooh la weren't clear enough
and didnt show the proper chords, so i thought id show my version.
some bits may be abit similar, some not.
 
Ive also included the solo which is on the first video.
 
Acoustic performance can be watched here at:

[Intro] Bm*
 
[Verse]
Bm*
    In their eyes is the place that you finally discovered
         G
That you love it here, you’ve got to stay
       Em
On the bottom of the rock, an island
                      Bm
On which you find you love it when you twitch
                          G        G C G
You feel that itch in you pettycoat
                   Em
Your pretty pretty pettycoat
         Bm
Then you smiled, he got wild
                                   G
You didn’t understand that there’s money to be made
                      Em
Beauty is a card that must get played
         A
By organisation
 
[Chorus]
Bm         G                  A            Em Em* F#* G*
   And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
G          Bm                 A                           Em Em* F#* G*
   And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
G          Bm                 A            Em Em* F#* G*
   And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
G          Bm                 A                           Em
   And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
 
[Verse 2](start with Bm not Bm*)
The world can be a very big place
So be yourself don’t get out of place
Love your man and love him twice
Go to Hollywood and pay the price
Oh go to Hollywood
 
And don’t be a star, it’s such a drag
Take care of yourself, don’t begin to lag
It’s a hard life to live, so live it well
I’ll be your friend and not in pretend
I know you girl
In all situations
 
[Chorus]
Bm         G                  A            Em Em* F#* G*
   And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
G          Bm                 A                           Em Em* F#* G*
   And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out
G          Bm                 A            Em Em* F#* G*
   And ooh la, she was such a good girl to me
G          Bm                 A                           Em
   And ooh la, the world just chewed her up, and spat her out

Finally someone who actually has the correct tab. Thank you so much. I guess people haven't seen the video(s) of this song because THERE IS NO CAPO and it's tuned down like you mentioned. Thanks again.
