Am                       Am/G
Depardieu's a restaurant critic

   Am                   Am/G
He hasn't left Paris in years

   Am                           Am/G
He spends his days in cafes and cabarets

Am            Am/G
Driving me to tears

    Am                     Am/G
His spelling's completely atrocious

    Am                Am/G
His turn of phrase absurd

   Am                    Am/G
He thinks he's pretty precocious

        Dadd9/F#        Fmaj7
But his shit is full of merde
[Chorus]
                 Am               Am/G
I hate the French, I hate them all

         E7                                Am               Am7/G
I can't stand the way they put that little thing above the "e"

           C                  G
I hate the French, I hate the French

           Em                 Am
I hate the French, I hate the French

           C                  G

I hate the French

Am                Am/G
Bonjour, Monsieur Depardieu

Am                 Am/G
Vous too, Monsieur Depardieu

       Am               Am/G
You're making my life a misery too

   Am                  Am/G
So may I say something entre new?

      Dadd9/F#                       Fmaj7
Go to hell Jacques Brell, the Eiffel Tower too (Jamie, Jacques Brell is Belgian)
[Chorus]
                 Am                                       Am/G

      F                   G                   C  F  C
Their cheese, their Paris breeze, their gay parades

  E7                             Am           Am7/G
Pierre Cardin, your concaven has got a lousy stench

           C                    G
I hate the French, he hates the French

           Em                   Am
I hate the French, he hates the French

           C                  G
I hate the French, I hate the French

            C  F  C
We hate the French
[Bridge]
     E7                                  Am
They say that they have savoir faire but I can't see it anywhere

    F                         Fm          E7
The world thinks jejune petit, moi aussi

I hate the French, that's the deal

         F             G             C  F  C
Though I do agree with wine at every meal

     E7                                 Am                  Am
But apart from that, I have to say I've never met a French, mench

          C                G
I rest my case, I take the bench

           C  F  C
I hate the French (Jamie, it's your brother calling again)
