Ooh La La

Ooh La La, 1973 Best of the Faces, 1999 Very Best of Rod Stewart, 2001

Ooh La La  Poor old Granddad I laughed at all his words I thought he was a bitter man He spoke of women's ways They'll trap you, then they use you before you even know For love is blind and you're far too kind Don't ever let it show I wish that I knew what I know now When I was younger. I wish that I knew what I know now When I was stronger. The can-can such a pretty show will steal your heart away But backstage back on earth again The dressing rooms are grey  They come on strong and it ain't too long For they make you feel a man But love is blind and you soon will find You're just a boy again When you want her lips, you get her cheek Makes you wonder where you are If you want some more then she's fast asleep You're just twinkling with the stars. Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say You'll have to learn, just like me And that's the hardest way, I wish that I knew what I know now When I was younger. I wish that I knew what I know now When I was stronger. Ooh la la Ooh la la, la la,

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, then they use you  Be-fore you even know

        D                                                                         Em7
For love is blind and you're far too kind   Don't ever let it show

      D                                                 Em7  
I wish that I knew what I know now   When I was younger.

      D                                                  Em7
I wish that I knew what I know now  When I was stronger.

         D                                                                   Em7
The Can Can's such a pretty show   They'll steal your heart away

          D                                                                Em7
But backstage, back on earth again   The dressing rooms are grey

            D                                                                                    Em7
They come on strong and it ain't too long   Before they make you feel a man

         D                                                                          Em7   
But love is blind and you soon will find   You're just a boy again

                         D                                                                        Em7  
When you want her lips, you get a cheek   Makes you wonder where you are

            D                                                                                          Em7           
If you want some more and she's fast asleep   Leaves you twinkling with the stars.

/D                                                   Em7                                      D                     
Poor young grandson, there's nothing I can say   You'll have to learn, just like me

            Em7                                                   D
And that's the hardest way   Ooh la la

               Em7                                                                        D           
ooh la la---                  la    la-------                  yeah------------

I wish that I knew what I know now    When I was younger.
I wish that I knew what I know now   When I was stronger.
