Subject: CRD:    Yvette In English    David Crosby     Chords/Lyrics
EbHe met hFer in a fGmrench cafe
EbShe slipped in Fsideways Gmlike a cat
EbSidelong glanFces, Gmwhat a wary little stray
EbShe sticks Fin his Bbmind like that
Saying 'Bbavez vous un Gmalumette'
With her Cmlips wrapped around a Ebcigarette
EbYvette in FEnglish saying Gmplease have this
EbLittle Fbit of GbinstAbant bGmliss.
EbHe's struggling Fwith a Gmforeign tongue
EbReaching for Fwords and Gmdrawing blanks
EbA loud mouth is Fstricken dGmeaf and dumb
EbIn a Fbistro on the Bbleft bank
If BbI was a painter   GmPicasso said
I'd Cmpaint this girl from Ebtoe to head
EbYvette in FEnglish, saying  Gmplease have this
EbLittle Fbit of GbinsAbtant Gmbliss
EbBurgundy noctuFrne tGmips and spills
EbThey move along Fnicely in the Gmspreading stain
EbNew chills, Fnew thrills
For the Gmold uphill battle
EbHow did he Fwind up Bbhere again
BbWalking and talking Gmtouched and scared
CmUninsulated wires  Ebbare
EbYvette in FEnglish saying 'Gmplease have this
EbLittle Fbit of GbinsAbtant Gmbliss
EbWhat blew her Flike a lGmeaf his way
EbUp in the Fair and Gmdown to earth
EbFirst she Fflusters, Gmthen she frays
EbSo quick to Fquestion her Bbown worth
BbHer cigarette burns her Gmfinger tips
CmIt falls like fireworks, she Ebcurses it
EbSweetly in FEnglish she says 'Gmplease have this
EbLittle Fbit of GbinsAbtant Gmbliss
EbHe sees her Fturn and Gmwalk away
EbSkittering Flike a Gmcat on a stone
EbHer high heels Fclicking, Gmwhat a wary little stray
EbShe leaves him Fby the BbSeine alone.
BbWith  black water and  Gmamber lights
CmAnd the bony bridge between lEbeft and right
EbYvette in FEnglish, saying 'Gmplease have this
EbLittle Fbit of GbinsAbtant Gmbliss
