Frenchman For The NightCifra de Viola

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…

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
