[Verse 1]
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
From his driftwood castle
C Cmaj7 Dm
Comes a song I've heard before
G7 F
A scratchy gramophone cuts to the bone
Em Dm C Cmaj7
"La Vie En Rose" arpeggios
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
So the dream begins
C Cmaj7 Dm
And the song is amplified
G7 F
Buy the Beaujolais, on Bastille day
Em Dm C
He dances in the tide
[Chorus]
F6 G6
By the light of the moon
C G Am7
He's a Frenchman for the night
G F6 G7
By the light of the moon
C Cmaj9 C Cmaj9
It'll be all right
[Verse 2]
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
Well it takes him back
C Cmaj7 Dm
To the days of love and war
G7 F
And the girl he knew with eyes of blue
Em Dm C
Waiting on the shore
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj9
If he'd only known
C Cmaj7 Dm
How the years would fly on by
G7 F
Such a simple crime, he's run out of time
Em Dm C
So he reaches for the sky
[Chorus]
F6 G6
By the light of the moon
C G Am7
He's a Frenchman for the night
G F6 G7
By the light of the moon
C Cmaj9 C Cmaj9
It'll be all right
[Bridge]
Gm7
Blame it on the Champs Elysees
A7
Blame it on a tune
Dm
Blame it on the stroke of Monet
F6 G7
But you can't escape the moon
F6 G7
But you can't escape the moon…
[Instrumental]
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
C Cmaj7 Dm
G7 F
Em Dm C
[Verse 3]
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj9
He sees the stars above
C Cmaj7 Dm
As the floor to heavens light
G7 F
While the angels taunt "C'est une nuit blanche"
Em Dm C
He's a Frenchman for the night
[Chorus]
F6 G6
By the light of the moon
C G Am7
He's a Frenchman for the night
G F6 G7
By the light of the moon
C Cmaj9 C Cmaj9
It'll be all right
[Verse]
C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7
From his driftwood castle
C Cmaj7 Dm
Comes a song I've heard before
G7 F
A scratchy gramophone cuts to the bone
Em Dm C Cmaj7
"La Vie En Rose" arpeggios
[Chorus]
F6 G6
By the light of the moon
C G Am7
He's a Frenchman for the night
G F6 G7
By the light of the moon
C Cmaj9 C Cmaj9
It'll be all right
[Chorus]
F6 G6
By the light of the moon
C G Am7
He's a Frenchman for the night
G F6 G7
By the light of the moon
C Cmaj9 C Cmaj9
It'll be all right
