_ _ _ _ _ _ _
It isn't by [Fm] chance [Cm] I happen to [D]
be a [B] boulevard [Abm] dear, [Cm] the toast of [G] Paris
[Fm] _ _ [Eb] For over the noise, the talk and the smoke [Bb] _
[Cm] I'm good for a [G] laugh, _ a drink or a joke _
_ I [Bb] walk in a [Fm] room, a [Bb] party, [Fm] a ball [Ab] Come sit [Gb] over here, _ _ somebody will _ [Db] call
[G] _ [Gb] A drink for monsieur, _ [Ebm] a drink for us [G] _ _ all _ But [Db] how many [Ab] times _ _ _ I [D] stop _ _
[G] and _ _ recall _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
Are the [Em] apple trees, [Am] _ _ [Dm] _
_ blossoms in the [G] breeze _
_ [C] _ [Am] That we _ _ _ walk [Dm] _ _ among _
_ [G] _ _ _ Lying in the [C] _ hay, _ [G] _ _ _
games we [Gm] [Bb] used to _ [Dm] play _ [E] _
_ While the rounds were [Am] sung
_ [D] _ _ Only _ _
_ [Dm] yesterday, _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [Ab] _ _ when [F] the world _ [C] was young
_ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
Wherever I [F] go, [Cm] they mention [F] my name [Cm] And that in [G] itself [Cm]
is some sort of [B] fame
_ _ [Eb] Come by for [Ab] a drink, [Eb] we're having a [Ab] game _ _ [A] Wherever I [D] go, _ [Ebm] I'm glad that I [Dm] came
[G] _
_ _ [E] The talk is quite [Fm] gay, _ the [Bb] company [Fm] _ fine _ [Ab] _ There's laughter and lights and [Gb] glamour and [G] _ wine
_ [Ab] And beautiful _ _ girls, and some of them _ [G] _
_ mine _ _ _ But [Db] _ often my [Ab] _ _
eyes _ see [D] a different _ _
_ _ _ [G] shine _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
Are the [Am] apple _ _ _ [Dm] trees, _ _ _ sunlit _ [G]
memories _ _ _ _ [Am] _ Where _ the [D] _ hammock _ _
_ [F] _ swung
_ _ _ [G] _
_ On our backs [C] we lie, _ _ _ [A] _ _ looking at [Dm] the _ sky _ [E] _
_ Till _ the [Am] stars were strung
_ _ [E] _ _ _
_ Only [D] _ last July, _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ when the _ world [Bm] _
_ _ _ [C] was _ young
