Dm
Oh my enchantress
Dm Bb7
Oh you beautiful thing
Bb7
Charming, charming
Bb7 Dm
Oh, this is really beyond anything
Dm
These dresses suit you
Dm Bb7
This one, “metallic gauze”
Bb7
Straight from Paris
Bb7 Dm
Anything suits you, my charmer
[Chorus]
Dm Gm Dm
Oh how she blushes, how she blushes, my pretty!
Dm Gm Dm
Oh how she blushes, how she blushes, my pretty!
Dm
Charmante, charmante!
Bb Aaug
You are such a lovely thing
Abdim7 G
Oh where have you been?
Dm Gm Dm
It’s such a shame to bury pearls in the country
Dm A Dm
Charmante, charmante, charming
[Verse]
Dm
Now if you have a dress
Dm Bb7
You must wear it out
Bb7 Dm
How can you live in Moscow and not go nowhere?
Dm
So you love somebody, charming
Dm Bb7
But that’s no reason to shut yourself in
Bb7
Even if you’re engaged
Bb7 Dm
You must wear your dress out somewhere
[Pre-Chorus]
Bdim7 Bb7
My brother dined with me yesterday
Bdim7 Bb7
But he didn’t eat a thing
Bdim7
Cuz he was thinking ’bout you
Bb7
He kept sighing about you
[Chorus]
Dm Gm Dm
Oh how she blushes, how she blushes, my pretty!
Dm Gm Dm
Oh how she blushes, how she blushes, my pretty!
Dm
Charmante, charmante!
Bb Aaug
You are such a lovely thing
Abdim7 G
Oh where have you been?
Dm Gm Dm
It’s such a shame to bury pearls in the country
Dm A Dm
Charmante, charmante, charming
[Verse]
Dm
Now a woman with a dress
Bb7
Is a frightening and powerful thing
Bb7
You are not a child
Bb7 Dm
When you’re draped in scarlet and lace
Dm
Your fiancé would want you to have fun
Bb7
Rather than be bored to death
Bb7
Alliez dans le monde
Bb7 Dm
Plutôt que de dépérir d’ennui!
[Pre-Chorus]
Bdim7 Bb7
My brother is quite madly in love
Bdim7 Bb Bb7
He is quite madly in love with you, my dear
[Chorus]
Dm Gm Dm
Oh how she blushes, how she blushes, my pretty!
Dm Gm Dm
Oh how she blushes, how she blushes, my pretty!
Dm
Charmante, charmante!
Bb Aaug
You are such a lovely thing
Abdim7 G
Oh where have you been?
Dm Gm Dm
It’s such a shame to bury pearls in the country
Dm A Dm
Charmante, charmante, charming
Dm Gm Dm
Such a shame to bury pearls in the country
Dm A Dm
Charmante, charmante, charming

Ebm
What once seemed so terrible
Ebm
Now seems simple and natural
Ebm
She knows that I’m engaged
Ebm
And still she talks so frankly
Bmaj7
So it must be all right!
(HÉLÈNE)
Abm
There is a ball at my house tonight
Ebm
You must come
Bb7
Oh your wide-open, wondering eyes!
Bb7
You will be the prettiest there!
B Gb
How the thought of throwing them together amuses me!
Bb7
You must come
(NATASHA)
Ebm
I will come
