La Vie En Rose
Edith Piaf (Piaf, Louisguy, Monnot, 1947)


[G] Quand il me prend dans ses [Gmaj7] bras
Il me parle tout [G6] bas
Je vois la [Bbdim7] vie en [Am7] ro- [D7] se
[Am7] Il me dit des mots d'a- [D7] mour
Des mots de tous les [Am7] jours
Et [D7] ça me fait quelque [G] chose [D7]

[G] Il est entré dans mon [Gmaj7] coeur
Une part de bon- [G6] heur
Dont [G7] je connais la [C] cause
[Cm] C'est lui pour moi, moi pour [G] lui dans la vie
[A7] Il me l'a dit, l'a ju- [Am7] ré pour la [D7] vie

[G] Et dès que je l'aper- [Gmaj7] çois
Alors je sens en [Am7] moi
Mon [D7] coeur qui [G] bat [D7]

[G] Hold me close and hold me [Gmaj7] fast
The magic spells you [G6] cast
This is la [Bbdim7] vie en [Am7] ro- [D7] se
[Am7] When you kiss me heaven [D7] sighs
And though I close my [Am7] eyes
I [D7] see la vie en [G] rose  [D7]

[G] When you press me to your [Gmaj7] heart
I'm in a world a- [G6] part
A [G7] world where roses [C] bloom
[Cm] And when you speak angels [G] sing from above
[A7] Everyday words seem to [Am7] turn into [D7] love songs

[G] Give your heart and soul to [Gmaj7] me
And life will always [Am7] be
La [D7] vie en [G] rose

And [C↓] lost boys like me are [G↓] free

He [Em↓] sprinkled me in pixie dust and [G↓] told me to believe
Be- [C↓] lieve in him and be- [G↓] lieve in me
To- [Em↓] gether we will fly away [G↓] in a cloud of green
[C↓] To your beautiful [G↓] destiny

As we [Em↓] soared above the town that [G↓] never loved me
I [C↓] realized I finally had a [G↓] family
[Em↓] Soon enough we reached [G↓] Neverland
[C↓] Peacefully my feet [G↓] hit the sand
And [Am↓] ever [Am↓] since that [D↓] day [D↓]
