La Jeusseliniere

G    C    G  D  G

[Verse 1]

As the sun rises high
        C
And the circling bird’s cry
       G          Em     A7    D
Is the only sound I ever hear
       G
As the barn shadow falls
       C
On the old cottage walls
       G              D             G
I know why this place calls me each year


[Verse 2]

For it’s here I find peace
          C
Where the world’s sorrows cease
       G          Em              A7    D
And my heart is released from its toil
          G
Where the tree offers fruits
    C
The vine sends its shoots
        G           D            G
And the wild cherry roots in the soil


[Verse 3]
      C
And I leave well behind
          G
All those things that I find
         Em                    A7       D
Cause me pain and distress and despair
           G
They don’t travel with me
       C
When I sail ‘cross the sea
          G          D       G
And drive down to La Jeusseliniere


[Chorus]
   Em
My friends bring their song
          C
And their laughter along
       A7                       D
Both belong on the sweet summer air
B7
Wine warms the night
          C
‘Till the stars in delight
         A7                   D
Shine so bright on La Jeusseliniere


[Instrumental]
G    C    G  Em  A7  D  G    C    G  D  G


[Chorus]
   Em
My friends bring their song
          C
And their laughter along
       A7                       D
Both belong on the sweet summer air
B7
Wine warms the night
          C
‘Till the stars in delight
         A7                   D
Shine so bright on La Jeusseliniere


[Verse 4]
         G
And when winter brings cold
      C
So my body feels old
        G            Em         A7      D
And the ice and snow hold us in thrall
       G
I will still close my eyes
        C
Till my freed spirit flies
          G             D            G
Where the circling bird cries for us all


[Verse 5]
         C
And I’ll leave well behind
          G
All those things that I find
         Em                    A7       D
Cause me pain and distress and despair
           G
They don’t travel with me
       C
When I sail ‘cross the sea
          G          D       G
And drive down to La Jeusseliniere

They don’t travel with me
       C
When I sail ‘cross the sea
          G          D       G
And drive down to La Jeusseliniere
