Legionnaires Lament

A:  577655
G:  355433

VERSE:

(strum with palm muting; listen to the song to know what I mean)

      Dm
I'm a legionnaire,
         A
Camel in disrepair
             G
Hoping for a frigidaire
        A
to come passing by.
        Dm
I am on reprieve,
           A
lacking my joie de vive,
           G
missing my gay Paris,
        A
in this desert dry .


CHORUS:

(still palm muting A, but normal strumming when you get to Dm)

               Dm
If only summer rain would fall
       A
On the houses and the boulevards
        G                                    A (palm mute after first couple strums)
and the sidewalk bagatelles it's like a dream
         Dm (strum normal again)
with the roar of cars
        A
and the lulling of the cafe bars,
    G                                A
the sweetly sleeping sweeping of the Seine.
                                            Dm
Lord I don't know if I'll ever be back again.
