David Crosby Yvette In English written by Joni Mitchell
David Crosby
[Eb]He met h[F]er in a f[Gm]rench cafe
[Eb]She slipped in [F]sideways [Gm]like a cat
[Eb]Sidelong glan[F]ces, [Gm]what a wary little stray
[Eb]She sticks [F]in his [Bb]mind like that
Saying '[Bb]avez vous un [Gm]alumette'
With her [Cm]lips wrapped around a [Eb]cigarette
[Eb]Yvette in [F]English saying [Gm]please have this
[Eb]Little [F]bit of [Gb]inst[Ab]ant b[Gm]liss.
[Eb]He's struggling [F]with a [Gm]foreign tongue
[Eb]Reaching for [F]words and [Gm]drawing blanks
[Eb]A loud mouth is [F]stricken d[Gm]eaf and dumb
[Eb]In a [F]bistro on the [Bb]left bank
If [Bb]I was a painter [Gm]Picasso said
I'd [Cm]paint this girl from [Eb]toe to head
[Eb]Yvette in[F] English, saying [Gm]please have this
[Eb]Little [F]bit of [Gb]ins[Ab]tant [Gm]bliss
[Eb]Burgundy noctu[F]rne t[Gm]ips and spills
[Eb]They move along [F]nicely in the [Gm]spreading stain
[Eb]New chills, [F]new thrills
For the [Gm]old uphill battle
[Eb]How did he [F]wind up [Bb]here again
[Bb]Walking and talking [Gm]touched and scared
[Cm]Uninsulated wires [Eb]bare
[Eb]Yvette in [F]English saying '[Gm]please have this
[Eb]Little [F]bit of [Gb]ins[Ab]tant [Gm]bliss
[Eb]What blew her [F]like a l[Gm]eaf his way
[Eb]Up in the [F]air and [Gm]down to earth
[Eb]First she [F]flusters, [Gm]then she frays
[Eb]So quick to [F]question her [Bb]own worth
[Bb]Her cigarette burns her [Gm]finger tips
[Cm]It falls like fireworks, she [Eb]curses it
[Eb]Sweetly in [F]English she says '[Gm]please have this
[Eb]Little [F]bit of [Gb]ins[Ab]tant [Gm]bliss
[Eb]He sees her [F]turn and [Gm]walk away
[Eb]Skittering [F]like a[Gm] cat on a stone
[Eb]Her high heels [F]clicking, [Gm]what a wary little stray
[Eb]She leaves him [F]by the [Bb]Seine alone.
[Bb]With black water and [Gm] amber lights
[Cm]And the bony bridge between l[Eb]eft and right
[Eb]Yvette in [F]English, saying '[Gm]please have this
[Eb]Little [F]bit of[Gb] ins[Ab]tant [Gm]bliss
