OOH LA LA            ROD STEWART


Capo 1st fret


 D                    Em7
Poor old granddad, I laughed at all his words,
    D                             Em7
I thought he was a bitter man, he spoke of women's ways,
          D                                  Em7
They'll trap you, and they'll use you, and before you even know,
     D                                          Em7
For love is blind and you're far to kind, don't ever let it show.

Chorus: 
  D                            Em7  G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger, 
  D                            Em7  G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger.

Melody:
    D           Em7    G

    D                              Em7  
The Can Can's such a pretty show, steals your heart away,
     D                                    Em7 
But backstage's back on earth again, the dressing rooms are great,
         D                                               Em7
They'll come on strong and it ain't to long, before they make you feel a man,
     D                                         Em7 
But love is blind and you soon will find, your just a boy again.

Chorus:
  D                            Em7  G  
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger,
  D                            Em7  G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger.

Melody (x2)


          D                                          Em7
When you want her lips, you get her cheek, makes you wonder where you are,
        D                                                 Em7 
If you want some more, and she's fast asleep, leaves you twinklin' with the stars,
 D                           Em7 
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say,
        D                               Em7
You'll have to learn just like me, and that's the hardest way.

Chorus (x2):
  D                            Em7  G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger,
  D                            Em7  G
I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was stronger.

Melody (x2)

       D        Em7
Oh la la, oh la la ya ya ya, 
       D        Em7
Oh la la, oh la la ya ya ya,ya,ya
