[Verse 1]
G
 A Sunday off in gay Paris

C      D             G
 I was bound for the sacred street

G
 God's the draw up on Montmartre

    C          D     Em
But not Rue de la Guitare

   C           D     G
Ne pas Rue de la Guitare
[Verse 2]
G
 Like melodies that never fade

  C        D          G
B-girls perform their masquerades

G
 Pigale is still a strange bizarre

     C           D   Em
Down on Rue de la Guitare

C      D     G
Rue de la Guitare
[Verse 3]
G
 Windows filled with long lost dreams

C           D        G
 Unfinished songs on rusty strings

G
 From Nazareth across the sea

          C          D       Em
She'd somehow caught up with me

C         D     G
Her fait accompli
[Bridge]
Bm                   C
 I read the wood and felt the scars

Bm                       C
 They spoke of nights in smoky bars

Bm                   Em
 How many songs, how many beers

C                       D   |   D
 Had caused her journey here

[Solo]

 A toast to those who love to hear

A d-eighteen played Lightfoot clear

 Music still lives in shops and bars

Along Rue de la Guitare

C      D     G
Rue de la Guitare
[Interlude] G C/G G C/G [Verse 5]
C         D     G
 Now over here, people sing

 "Comment ca va, monsieur Buffett?

 Un verre de vin, une chanson a jouer"
