[C]The weather is clearing, birds are appearing,
F Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C
and I'm only three miles from Dover,
[C]to the wind and the ocean, I'm throwing caution,
F Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C
oh, I can't wait to get back over.
F Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C
After two 'Beaujolais' everybody is laughing,
F Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C
it's better than smoking and its two times as healthy,
F Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C
my pockets are empty but I'm feeling wealthy,
Dm    F         Â
la, la la la la la, la la ...
C Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â F

[C]The last time I was there, she wore her gold hair,
F Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C
tied at the back in a pigtail,
C Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
I wonder if she still cares, or even if she's still there,
F Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C
oh, I don't want to go into details.
F Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C
Well, the street that she lived in was called Rue Moutard
F Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C
I hope I can find it without asking directions,
F Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â C
I'm so glad I made my own French connection
