Verse 3
Fm7
Her name is Lola
Ab/Bb Ebmaj7
She was a showgirl
Am7b5 D7
But that was thirty years ago
Gm7
When they used to have a show
Fm7
Now it's a disco
Ab/Bb Ebmaj7
But not for Lola
Am7b5 D7
Still in the dress she used to wear
Gm7
Faded feathers in her hair
Bridge
Cdim D7 Gm
She sits there so re-fined
Cdim D7 Gm
And drinks herself half-blind

She lost her youth and she lost her Tony
Gm7 F#aug Fm6
Now she's lost her mind
