Chords

Nobody seems to have chorded an accurate and simple version of this song or "Dream a Little Dream of Me" by the Mamas and Papas, so I did them both. Maybe this will help US- Franco relations! Thanks to Petitangegris for Version 5 (the closest version of "Dream a Little Dream of Me"), and Professor Jacques Bereaud of Cornell University for the lyrics, compiled by: [email protected] merci beaucoup!
