LA BOHÈME par Charles Aznavour
[Verse 1]
Fm
   Je vous parle d'un temps que les moins de vingt ans 
                   Cm                           Fm
Ne peuvent pas connaître Montmartre en ce temps-là 
                  Cm
Accrochait ces lilas jusque sous nos fenêtres 
                  Fm
Et si l'humble garni qui nous servait de nid 
                 Cm                            Fm
Ne payait pas de mine, c'est là qu'on s'est connu
                G9                      Cm
Moi qui criait famine et toi qui posait nue 
[Chorus]
C7   Fm          Cm              Fm      G7      Cm  C7
La bohème, la bohème, ça voulait dire on est heureux 
     Fm         Cm                 Fm         G7       Cm
La bohème, la bohème, nous ne mangions qu'un jour sur deux 
[Verse 2]
Fm
   Dans les cafés voisins nous étions quelques uns 
                   Cm                     Fm
Qui attendions la gloire et bien que miséreux 
                 Cm
Avec le ventre creux Nous ne cessions d'y croire 
                     Fm
Et quand quelque bistro contre un bon repas chaud 
                  Cm                       Fm
Nous prenait une toile nous récitions des vers
                  G9                    Cm
Groupés autour du poêle en oubliant l'hiver 
[Chorus]
C7   Fm         Cm              Fm      G7   Cm  C7
La bohème, la bohème ça voulait dire tu es jolie 
     Fm         Cm              Fm       G7   Cm
La bohème, la bohème et nous avions tous du génie 
[Verse 3]
Fm
   Souvent il m'arrivait devant mon chevalet 
                      Cm                      Fm
De passer des nuits blanches retouchant le dessin 
                  Cm
De la ligne d'un sein du galbe d'une hanche 
                    Fm
Et ce n'est qu'au matin qu'on s'assayait enfin 
                Cm                  Fm
Devant un café-crème épuisés mais ravis
                     G9                     Cm
Fallait-il que l'on s'aime et qu'on aime la vie 
[Chorus]
C7   Fm         Cm              Fm     G7       Cm  C7
La bohème, la bohème ça voulait dire on a vingt ans 
     Fm         Cm               Fm       G7      Cm
La bohème, la bohème et nous vivions de l'air du temps 
[Verse 4]
Fm
   Quand au hasard des jours je m'en vais faire un tour 
                 Cm                     Fm
A mon ancienne adresse je ne reconnais plus 
                     Cm
Ni les murs, ni les rues qui ont vu ma jeunesse 
                  Fm
En haut d'un escalier je cherche l'atelier 
                     Cm                       Fm
Dont plus rien ne subsiste dans son nouveau décor 
                  G9                        Cm
Montmartre semble triste et les lilas sont morts 
[Chorus]
C7   Fm         Cm            Fm         G7     Cm  C7
La bohème, la bohème on était jeunes, on était fous 
     Fm         Cm               Fm        G7     Cm    Fm  Cm  Fm  G7  Cm
La bohème, la bohème ça ne veut plus rien dire du tout
