Hearing It In French

[verse 1]
  C
I met her down in Baton Rouge about 
a year ago
We were listening to a band that 
            G
played at a place called Zydeco
  F                           C   
I finally got the nerve up to say 
                F
come dance with me
       C                           
And my knees turned to butter when 
    G                   C
she answered  "C'est la vie"


[Chorus]
N.C.       C
I told her don't say goodbye my love
 just tell me "Au revoir"
                                G
Don't say goodnight just let me hear
 "Mon cher, bon soir"
    F                          
She wrapped my heart around her 
        C              F
little finger inch by inch
      G                            
Cause everything sounds better when
                      C
 you're hearing it in French.

[Verse 2]
  C
I don't recall a lot of what she 
said to me that night
It never really mattered cause she 
G
made it all sound right
F                               C
When the night was over she was 
               F
gone like cajun smoke
      C                            
But I still recall the language of 
    G               C
the angels that she spoke


[Chorus]
N.C.       C
I told her don't say goodbye my love
 just tell me "Au revoir"
                                G
Don't say goodnight just let me hear
 "Mon cher, bon soir"
    F                          
She wrapped my heart around her 
        C              F
little finger inch by inch
      G                            
Cause everything sounds better when
                      C
 you're hearing it in French.

Now every chance I get I take the 
drive to Baton Rouge
                                G
And stopping down at Zydecos to hear
 a song or two
      F                            
Well, if she's ever in there, boys,
      C             F
 just get out of my way
        C                          
Cause I got a few more phrases that
     G                C
 I'd love to hear her say


[Chorus]
N.C.          C
I'll tell her don't say goodbye my 
love just tell me "au revoir"
                                G
Don't say goodnight just let me hear
 "Mon cher, bon soir"
    F                          
She wrapped my heart around her 
        C              F
little finger inch by inch
      G                            
Cause everything sounds better when
                      C
 you're hearing it in French.
