[Verse 1]
       C         Cmaj7   C   Cmaj7
From his driftwood castle
        C         Cmaj7    Dm
Comes a song I've heard before
           G7              F
A scratchy gramophone cuts to the bone
           Em       Dm  C   Cmaj7
"La Vie En Rose" arpeggios
       C        Cmaj7   C  Cmaj7
So the dream begins
        C       Cmaj7  Dm
And the song is amplified
        G7             F
Buy the Beaujolais, on Bastille day
   Em      Dm    C
He dances in the tide
[Chorus]
                    F6    G6
By the light of the moon
       C         G       Am7
He's a Frenchman for the night
       G            F6    G7
By the light of the moon
             C    Cmaj9  C  Cmaj9
It'll be all right
[Verse 2]
        C         Cmaj7   C   Cmaj7
Well it takes him back
       C       Cmaj7    Dm
To the days of love and war
        G7                F
And the girl he knew with eyes of blue
Em      Dm      C
Waiting on the shore
        C     Cmaj7  C  Cmaj9
If he'd only known
        C           Cmaj7  Dm
How the years would fly on by
       G7                     F
Such a simple crime, he's run out of time
      Em       Dm       C
So he reaches for the sky
[Chorus]
                    F6    G6
By the light of the moon
       C         G       Am7
He's a Frenchman for the night
       G            F6    G7
By the light of the moon
             C    Cmaj9  C  Cmaj9
It'll be all right
[Bridge]
Gm7
Blame it on the Champs Elysees
A7
Blame it on a tune
Dm
Blame it on the stroke of Monet
        F6               G7
But you can't escape the moon
        F6               G7
But you can't escape the moon…

[Verse 3]
            C     Cmaj7  C  Cmaj9
He sees the stars above
       C        Cmaj7    Dm
As the floor to heavens light
G7                      F
While the angels taunt "C'est une nuit blanche"
       Em         Dm     C
He's a Frenchman for the night
[Chorus]
                    F6    G6
By the light of the moon
