GUITAR: STANDARD, CAPO AT THE FIRST

lyrics

VIRGINIE SHE SAYS TO ME
FRANCE HAS LOST ITS SENSE OF JOIE DE VIVRE
I HAVEN’T BEEN FOR YEARS MYSELF
SO I DON’T FIND IT EASY TO BELIEVE HER
CAUSE IT’S GOT THE WINE AND THE SWEET CHAMPAGNE
IT’S GOT THE BRIE AND THE GRAPES, IT’S GOT MONTMARTRE
AND IF THEY’RE HAVING TOO MUCH FUN,
THEY’VE GOT THOSE CIGARETTES AND JEAN PAUL SARTRE

IT MUST BE LIKE THE ICE AGE, ONLY BACKWARDS, MA CHERIE
FOR YOU TO COME THIS FAR NORTH SEEKING WARMTH AND BONHOMIE
OH I DO HOPE THAT YOU FIND YOU SOME
THERE’S NONE LEFT HERE FOR ME, VIRGINIE
YES I DO HOPE THAT YOU FIND YOU SOME
THERE’S NONE LEFT HERE FOR ME, VIRGINIE

.CAME ALL THE WAY FROM MONTPELLIER
TO SIT DOWN BY ANOTHER STINKING RIVER
WHERE PARTY TIME IS ANY TIME
IT BACK TO MINE, AND THEN IT’S “YEAH, WHATEVER…”
WHERE EVERY CONVERSATION SHOULD
BE UNDERSCORED WITH PRE-RECORDED LAUGHTER
WHERE FIRST IT’S “OH! JE T’AIME, JE T’AIME”
AND THEN IT’S “I WILL HATE YOUR FACE FOR EVER AFTER”

FROM PERPIGNAN TO PETERGATE, THAT’S A LONG WAY, MA CHERIE
FOR YOU TO COME IN SEARCH OF SIMPLE CAMERADERIE
OH I’M SURE IT’S “BIEN VENUE” FOR YOU
IT’S “MAIS NON PLUS” FOR ME
YES I’M SURE IT’S “BIEN VENUE” FOR YOU
IT’S “MAIS NON PLUS” FOR ME
