#
I'm a [Dm]legionnaire, camel in [F]disrepair
Hoping for a [G]frigidaire to come [Gm]passing [A]by
I am on reprieve, lacking my joie de vive
Missing my gay Paris, in this desert dry
And I wrote my girl, told her I would not return
Terribly taken a turn, for the worse now I fear
ItÂ’s been a year or more since they shipped me to this foreign shore
Fighting in a foreign war so far away from my home
If only summer [F]rain would fall on the [C]houses and the boulevards
And the [Gm]sidewalk bagatelles it's like a [Bb]dream
With the [F]roar of cars and the [C]lulling of the cafe bars,
The [Gm]sweetly sleeping sweeping of the [Bb]Seine
Lord I [Bbm]don't know if I'll ever be back again
La la la la dum
La la la la
Medicating in the sun, pinched doses of laudanum
Longing for the old fecundity of my homeland
Curses to this mirage, a bottle of ancient Shiraz
A smattering of distant applause is ringing in my poor ears
On the old left bank, my baby in a charabanc
Riding up the width and length of the Champs Elysees
If only summer rain would fall on the houses and the boulevard
And the sidewalk bagatelles it's like a dream
With the roar of cars and the lulling of the cafe bars
The sweetly sleeping sweeping of the Seine
Lord I don't know if I'll ever be back again
If only summer rain would fall on the houses and the boulevard
And the sidewalk bagatelles itÂ’s like a dream
With the roar of cars and the lulling of the cafe bars
The sweetly sleeping sweeping of the Seine
Lord I don't know if I'll ever be back again...
[F]   Be back a[C]gain, be back a[Gm]gain, I'll be back a[Bb]gain
La la la [F]la...[C][Gm][Bb]
[F]       [C]        [Gm]         [B
