VERSE I
REm FA
I'm a legionnaire, camel in disrepair,
SOL SIb LA
hoping for a Frigidaire to come passing by.
REm FA
I am on reprieve, lacking my joise de vivre,
SOL SIb LA
missing my gay Paree in this desert dry.
REm FA
And I wrote my girl, told her I would not
SOL
return, I've terribly taken a turn for the
SIb LA REm
worse now, I fear. It's been a year or more
FA
since they shipped me to this foreign
SOL SIb
shore, fighting in a foreign, so far away
LA
from my home.
CHORUS
FA DO
If only some rain would fall on the house and
SOLm
the boulevards and the sidewalks bagatelles (it's
SIb FA
like a dream). With a roar of cars and the
DO SOLm
lolling of the cafe bars and the sweetly sleeping
SIb SIbm
sweeping of the Seine. Lord, I don't know if I'll
REm FA SOL SIb LA
ever be back again. La Da Dum Dum La Da Da Dum
VERSE II
Medicating in the sun with pinch doses of
laudanum, longing for the old fecundity of
my homeland. Curses to this mirage! A
bottle of ancient shiraz! The smattering of
distant applause is ringing in my poor
ears. On the old left bank, my baby in a
charabanc, riding up the width and length
of the Champs Elysee.
REPEAT CHORUS
INTERLUDE
REm FA SOL SIb LA
REPEAT CHORUS
OUTRO
SIbm FA
... Lord, I don't know if I'll ever be back again,
DO SOLm SIb
be back again, be back again, O be back again.
FA DO SOLm SIb SIbm
Oh oh oh oh oh, la la la la, la la la la, oh oh oh oh
FA DO SOLm SIb SIbm REm
