Chords

[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

By the light of the moon

It'll be all right
