Cm7 G#7
Would ya look at that coffered ceiling,
C#maj7 F#maj7
Look at that chandelier.
Bmaj7
Excuse me but how I'm feeling
F7
Is a hundred proof.
F#7
I could raise the roof.
Bmaj7 B6
I'm so happy to be here.
A#6
I've been kind of missing
A#6/A G#6/9 Gsus G
Mom and Daddy,
Cm7 Cm7/B Cm7/A# Cm7/F F
Sort of in a spin since Cincinatti.
A# A#7/D
The morning flight, a major bore
D# Edim7
But then they open the cabin door
A#6 0
And zoot alors
F# F A#
Here I am!
B7/F#
F7 A#6
Lord knows I had the will
A#6/A G#5/9 Gsus G
And the resources
Cm7 Cm7/B
But Mom and Dad kept saying
Cm7/A# Cm7/F F
"Hold your horses."
A# A#7/D
I guess those poies couldn't wait
D#
Pardon me folks but
Edim7
They've left the gate
A#6
I may be late, but
F# F A# B A#
Here I am!
Ah,
Cm7 G#9
The way to be, to me, is French
A#m/C# F#7
The way they "C'est La Vie" is French
Bmaj7
So here I am, Beaumont Sur Mer, a
Cm7 F F# F
Big two weeks on the Rivier a.
A#6
If I'm only dreaming
A#6A G#6/9 Gsus G
Please don't wake me.
Cm7 Cm7/B
Let the summer sun
Cm6/A# Cm7 F
And breezes take me.
A# A#7/D
Excuse me if I seem jejune,
D# Edim7 A#6
I promise I'll find my marbles soon but
Everywhere I look
A#6 B7
It's like a scene from a book.
A#6
Open the book and
F# F A# A#6
Here I am!
I mean
Cm7
The air is French
G#9
That chair is French
A#m/C# F#7
This nice sincere Sancerre is French
Bmaj7
The skies are French
C7
The pies are French, those
F
Guys are French
F#7 B6
These fries are French!
Pardon me if I
B6/A# A6/9 G#sus G#
Fly off the handle,
C#m7 C#m7/C
No place else on earth
C#m7/B
Can hold a candle
F#
