"How Sad Venice Can Be" aka "Que c'est triste Venise" BY: Charles Aznavour(Music); Gene Lees (Lyrics-English); Francoise Dorin (Lyrics-French) [Key - Bb] [VERSE 1]
BbHow sad Venice can be When Fyou return alone To Gmfind a memory In every paving Fstone. CmI walk among the birds That Ffill San Marco's Square With Cechoes of her words Around me in the Fair.
[CHORUS]
BbHow sad Venice can be When the Gmandolins play A Cmsong she sung for me One unforgotten Fday. BbLike images of sleep EbThe gondoliers go by But Cmwhen I try to weep I Ffind my tears are Bbdry.
[Key Change - B] [VERSE 2]
BHow sad Venice can be When Abmmist is in your eyes And you can C#mhardly see As pigeons fill the F#skies. I C#mfind the little street And F#then the old café Where C#mwe would always meet To dream away the F#day.
[CHORUS]
BHow sad Venice can be Be-Aneath the silent Abmoon TC#mhat rises from the sea And silvers the la-F#goon. I Bhear the vespers chime And Abmcross the Bridge of Sighs I C#mknow that it is time To F#bid my last good-Bbyes.
[Key Change - C] [SEGUE]
CThere's nothing more to say I Fpass beneath the light And then I Dmturn away From GVenice in the Cnight.
[OUTRO]
CHow sad Venice can be It's Ftoo lonely to Abare When Fyou have lost the love That Gyou discovered Cthere.
