Dm Am F Am Bb F C F
[Verse 1]
F A
Oh poor Frankie's sleeping by the Seine
Bb Am
He's lost his way and the wayward artist's name is
C
Washed with the rain
F
Now he cries out
A Bb
"We are here, this is the dogs. Our stars are lost."
Am
But the pavement bares your name
C
...down by the Seine
Bb A7
La de da
Dm Am F Am Bb F C
I wouldn't have it any other way, so
[Chorus]
F
Oh Frankie you'll never know
A
How you set young lovers on their toes
Bb
You've filled your cap with pennies from the proletariat
Am C
Sleeping by the Seine, oh no
F
The crowds are loud; the streets are black
A
But still your painting stares from the tarmac
For now the moon shines bright
Bb
Upon these dark waters tonight
Am C
Sleeping by the Seine, oh no
Dm Am F Am Bb F C F
[Verse 2]
F A
Oh poor Frankie's sleeping by the Seine
Bb Am C
He's lost his way and the wayward artist's name is washed with the rain
F A Bb
Now he cries out "We are here, this is the dogs. Our stars are lost."
Am C
But the pavement bares your name... down by the Seine
F
They chased you down the Rue de Mon
A
You were cursing like a scullion
Bb Am C
You found your head stuck in a cloud
And you cried
F A
"If it was a sunny day, all the cobbles would gleam down Back-hand Way"
Bb
We shout
Am C Bb A7
"Tonight, the Seine is ours."
Dm Am F Am Bb F C
I wouldn't have it any other way, so
[Chorus]
F
Oh Frankie you'll never know
A
How you set young lovers on their toes
Bb
You've filled your cap with pennies from the proletariat
Am C
Sleeping by the Seine, oh no
F
The crowds are loud; the streets are black
A
But still your painting stares from the tarmac
For now the moon shines bright
Bb
Upon these dark waters tonight
Am C
Sleeping by the Seine
