Capo 2nd fret


Intro:  D  G  A       (x3)
        D  G  A  Bm
        D  G  A


D              Bm       G         A
I was lousy at math, a failed historian

D       Bm       G      A
Carlene was the valedictorian

       D         Bm           G       A
I was the quarterback in the back of class

    D            Bm      G          A     D   G   A
She was the whiz kid in horned rim glasses

D                Bm          G          A
It's been a long time since I've been around

D               Bm      G        A
Since I stepped foot on my old stomping ground

D       Bm         G          A
I ended up by the old school yard

          D             Bm       G          A
And this red head pulls up in a blue sports car

           Em         D             G              A
And says, "I bet you don't remember, I guess it's been forever."

Em         F#m       G           A
It took a second to put it all together and I said...

Chorus:

D      A     G
Ooh la la la la la

  A      D     Bm     G    A   
Looking good Carlene

D      A     G 
Woh my my my my my

A          D      Bm
Times been good to you

        G           A
If you know what I mean

Em                     D
Girl you glitter like Hollywood

     Em      F#m
Good gosh Carlene

     G        A          D   G   A   Bm    D   G   A
You sure are lookin good


D          Bm           G        A
She said, “Hop in let's go for a spin

         D           Bm             G         A
Tell me whatcha been doing boy and where you been”

         D        Bm         G               A
I said, “I write songs, you probably didn't know, but I

D            Bm             G       A     D   G   A
Finally got a couple out on country radio”

           D       Bm      G           A
She said, "What a switch, ain't life funny, I've got a

D    Bm          G            A
Ph.D    now I'm modeling for money."

D        Bm         G       A
Imagine little miss 4 point 0 just
D               Bm             G        A
Smiling for the camera on the cover of Vogue
         Em                            D          G              A
I said, “You've come a long way since graduation, let me say without 
reservation
Em        F#m          G          A
You've surpassed everyone's expectations”


D      A     G
Ooh la la la la la
  A      D      Bm   G   A
Looking good Carlene
D      A     G 
Woh my my my my my
A          D      Bm
Times been good to you
        G           A
If you know what I mean
Em                     D
Girl you glitter like Hollywood
     Em      F#m
Good gosh Carlene
     G        A          D   G   A   Bm    D   G   A
You sure are lookin good


           Bm                 A
I said, “I hope to see you again someday”
            G                    A
She said, “Another ten years is too long to wait
Em      F#m       G          A
Pick me up at my momma's at eight”

I said...


Chorus:
D      A     G
Ooh la la la la la
  A      D      Bm   G   A
Looking good Carlene
D      A     G 
Woh my my my my my
A          D       Bm
Times been good to you
        G           A
If you know what I mean
D      A     G
Ooh la la la la la
  A      D      Bm    G    A
Looking good Carlene
D      A     G 
Woh my my my my my
A          D       Bm
Times been good to you
        G           A
If you know what I mean
