Chords for Matelot - Brenda Lee

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Jean-Louis Dominique [C#m] Pierre [F#] Bouchon, _ [D] _
true to the breed [F#] that bore him, _ [D#m] _ answered the call [Em] that held him drawl, _ [D] his father's heart [F#] before him. _
[B] _ Jean-Louis Dominique sailed away, _ [C#m]
further than [B] love could find him, [D#] _ [E] and yet through the night [B] he heard a light, [F] and a gentle [B] voice behind him [C#] say, _ _
[B] _ _ _ Matalo, _ [E] Matalo, _ where [F#] you go my thoughts [B] go with you, Matalo, _ _ _ [E]
Matalo, _ [F#] when you go down to the [B]
sea.
[E] _ _ [B] _ _ As you gaze from afar on the evening star, [E]
wherever you [D#] may roam, _ [G#m] you'll remember the light [C#] through the winter night [A#] that guides you safely [D#] _ home.
Though [G#m] you find [C#] women cut [G#m] and be _ frail, _ one [G#] cannot [G#m] fail my son, _ [C#m] _
till [F#] our _ days [B]
are done.
_ _ _ _ _ Matalo, _ oh [E] Matalo, _ [F#] where you go my [B] thoughts go with you, _ Matalo, _ _ [E] Matalo, _ [F#] when you go down to [B] the sea. _ _ _
When there's grief in the sky and the waves rise _ [E] _ up to you, [D#] you may _ _ [G#m] be sure that I'm true [C#] to my love for you, [A#] though half the [D#] world away.
[G#m] Never _ mind [C#] if you find _ [G#m] _ _ _ _
me here within my arms, you'll see, _ [C#m] _ _ safety.
[F#] _

_ _ Matalo, _ oh [E]
Matalo, _ [F#] where you go my [B] heart goes with you, _ _ _ _ [E] Matalo, _ when [F#] you go down to the [B]
sea.
_ _ _ _ [E] When [F#] you go down to [B] the sea. _ _ _
