^CWe would live in ^GFrance We'd go sailing on the Seine And ^CI would learn to ^Ddance ^Em

And now I live in Paris

And my ^Cchildren dance and ^Gdream Hearing the story of a miner's life In ^Cwords they've never ^Dseen ^Em

I sailed my memo^Aries of old Like ^Dboats across the Seine ^Dm And I watched the ^GParis sun ^CSet in my father's ^Bbeyes a^Ggain

My father always promised us We would live in France We'd go sailing on the Seine And I would learn to dance OUTRO: (## fade to end ##) La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
