Charles Trenet (May 18, 1913, Narbonne, France 

Cm                             C#7
Ce soir, le vent qui frappe à ma porte
                     Cm                        G7
Me parle des amours mortes, devant le feu qui s'etteind
    Cm                          G7
Ce soir, c'est une chanson d'automne
                       Cm                               G7             
dans la maison, qui frissonne, et je pense au jours lointains   

         Dm7         G7          
Que reste-t-il de nos amours
G7         Cmaj7              Ebdim
Que reste-t-il de ces beaux jours
      Dm7            G7 
Une photo, vieille photo
           Cmaj7  A7    
De ma jeunesse
          Dm7               G7
Que reste-t-il des billets doux
 G7           Cmaj7            Ebdim
Des mois d' avril, des rendez-vous
        Dm7              G7
Un souvenir qui me poursuit
        C9
Sans cesse
            F              Fm6
 Bonheur fané, cheveux au vent
           C               A7 
Baisers volés, rêves mouvants
           Dm7           D9 
Que reste-t-il de tout cela
         G7 
Dites-le-moi
            Dm7                G7
Un petit village, un vieux clocher
G7    Cmaj7        Ebdim  
Un paysage si bien caché
           DM7             G7
Et dans un nuage le cher visage
          C
De mon passé

C'est la que [Gm7]j'viens retrou[Am]ver
[A]Mon [Dm]ame, tou[A]te ma [G7]flamme
Tout mon bon[C7]heur

Quand [F+]je re[Bb]vois ma p'tite e[Bbm]glise
Ou les mari[F]ages allaient gaie[G7]ment
Quand je re[Gm7]vois ma vielle [Am]mai[A]son [D]grise
Ou [A]mem' la [G7]brise
[C7]Parle d'an[F]tan

Ell's me ra[E7]content comme autre[A]fois
[Fm]De jolis [G7]contes
Beaux jours pas[C7]ses, je vous revois:

Un [F+]rendez[Bb]vous, une mu[Bbm]sique
Des yeux re[F]veurs, tout un [G7]roman
Tout un [Bb]roman d'amour [Am]po[A]e[Dm]tique
Et [A]pathe[Gm7]tique: Me[C7]nilmon[F]tant!

Quand midi [F]sonne [F7]
La vie s'e[Dm]veill' a nou-veau [Ddim]
Tout re[F]sonne
De [C]mill' e[F]chos.
La [C7]midi[F]nette [F7]

La [F]pip[G7]lette
Lit ses [C7]journaux

Voici la grille vert'
Voi[F7]ci la port' ou-ert' [Bb]
Qui grinc' [G]un peu pour [F]dir'
"Bon[G7]jour, Bonjour, alors [Bbm]te v'la [G7]d'retour." [C7]

[F+]Menilmon[Bb]tant, mais oui, Ma[Bbm]dame

[A]Mon [Dm]ame, tou[A]te ma [G7]flamme
Tout mon bon[C7]heur

Quand [F+]je re[Bb]vois ma petit' [Bbm]gare
Ou chaque [F]train passait [G7]joyeux
J'entends en[Gm7]cor' dans le [Am]tin[A]ta[Dm]mare
Des [A]mots bi[G7]zarre
[C7]Des mots d'a[F]dieux

J'suis pas po[E7]ete
Mais j'suis e[Am]mu
Et [Fm]dans ma [G7]tete
Y'a des souv'[C7]nirs jamais perdus:
Un [F+]soir d'hi[Bb]ver, Une mu[Bbm]sique
Des yeux tres [F]doux -- les tient [G7]maman
Quel beau [Bb]roman d'amour [Am]po[A]e[Dm]tique

Menilmontant

E                F#7
Au Grand Café, vous êtes entré par hasard
          B7            E
Tout ébloui par les lumières du boul´vard
           E7                   A7
Bien installé devant la grande table
          F#7                   B7
Vous avez bu, quelle soif indomptable
           E                  F#7
De beaux visages fardés vous disaient bonsoir
           Gb              C#m  
Et la caissière se levait pour mieux vous voir
           A          B7         E      
Vous étiez beau vous étiez bien coiffé
          F#7       B7        E
Vous avez fait beaucoup d´effet
     Db7     F#7     B7      E 
Beaucoup d´effet au Grand Café

           E                F#7
Comme on croyait que vous étiez voyageur
          B7            E
Vous avez dit des histoires d´un ton blagueur
           E7                   A7
Bien installé devant la grande table
          F#7                   B7
On écoutait cet homme intarissable
           E                  F#7
Tous les garçons jonglaient avec Paris-Soir
           Gb              C#m  
Et la caissière pleurait au fond d´son tiroir
            A       B7        E
Elle vous aimait, elle les aurait griffés
          F#7       B7        E
Tous ces gueulards, ces assoiffés
     Db7     F#7     B7  E
Ces assoiffés du Grand Café

              E              F#7
Par terre on avait mis d´la sciure de bois
                  B7          E
Pour qu´les cracheurs crachassent comme il se doit
           E7                   A7
Bien installé devant la grande table
          F#7                   B7
Vous invitiez des Ducs, des Connétables
           E                  F#7
Quand on vous présenta, soudain, l´addition
               Gb          C#m  
Vous avez déclaré: " Moi, j´ai pas un rond "
              A       B7        E
Cette phrase-là produit un gros effet
      F#7          B7     E   
On confisqua tous vos effets
       Db7     F#7     B7   E
Vous étiez fait au Grand Café

           E                F#7
Depuis ce jour, depuis bientôt soixante ans
                   B7                  E
C´est vous l´chasseur, c´est vous l´commis de restaurant
           E7                   A7
Vous essuyez toujours la grande table
          F#7                   B7
C´est pour payer cette soirée lamentable
           E                  F#7
Ah, vous eussiez mieux fait de rester ailleurs
          Gb              C#m  
Que d´entrer dans ce café plein d´manilleurs
             A        B7            E
Vous étiez beau, le temps vous a défait
      F#7          B7     E
Les mites commencent à vous bouffer
       Db7     F#7     B7   E
Au Grand Café, au Grand Café.

Am

    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A#

                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am

 G                          D
You say you like sleeping with the air off
Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no
    G              D          Bm    A
And you don't ask for me to change


[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no


[Post-Chorus]
N.C.
No no no no

We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time
N.C.
No no no no

We like it in the daytime
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time


[Verse 2]
G                        D
Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no

And you don't ask for me to change

[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine
G                         D
Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright

Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Verse 2
          D                           Bm7
Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith


Chorus

Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
         Bm7 A   G                               Gm

Situations

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
