The Kooks - Ooh La
[ chords by: WheezyE (SaskStrum on Youtube figured them out though)]
I've had this on my computer for quite a while. I remember laboriously going over this
tab for a while, but I can't remember how much is original. I think all the chords are
original, but if I ripped you off I'm sorry.
Fun fact, I heard the band pronounce their name as "The Cooks." Not like "kooky", but
like "cook."

But In their

(G5) That you love it here, you've got to stay
(Em) On this wrongness of rock, an island On which you find you
(Bm11) love it when you twitch You feel that itch in your

Your pretty pretty (Em) pettycoat

Oh go to Hollywood--- (Em)
And don't (Bm11) be a star, it's such a drag
