C                        Em 
So we already wrecked the rental car 
G                        Em 
And I've already lost my way 
C                        Em 
My feet entombed in this tourist bar 
      Am      C 
For a day, anyway 
C                     Em 
So lay me down on the cobblestones 
G                      Em 
And unfurl this aching jib 
C                        Em 
The streets all built on ancient bones 
        Am          C 
And the crib of the ribs 


C           G 
Won't the mistral 
D             Em 
Blow it all away 
C           G 
Won't the mistral 
        D 
Blow away 
C           G 
Won't the mistral 
D             Em 
Blow it all away 
             Am             C              Dadd4 
Wonâ??t it blow, wonâ??t it blow, wonâ??t it blow 


C                          Em 
So it's me and you and the baby boy 
G                         Em 
And a fourth to share the weight 
C                 Em 
We're eking out a little joy 
          Am                 C 
From what awaits back in the States, aay 


C           G 
Won't the mistral 
D             Em 
Blow it all away 
C           G 
Won't the mistral 
        D 
Blow away 
C           G 
Won't the mistral 
D             Em 
Blow it all away 
             Am             C              Dadd4 
Wonâ??t it blow, wonâ??t it blow, wonâ??t it blow 


(Honky-tonk piano, guitar solos)  

C       Em      G       Em      C       Em      Am      C   


C           G 
Won't the mistral 
D             Em 
Blow it all away 
C           G 
Won't the mistral 
        D 
Blow away 
C           G 
Won't the mistral 
D             Em 
Blow it all away 
             Am             C              Dadd4 
Wonâ??t it blow, wonâ??t it blow, wonâ??t it blow 


Fade out: 
C           G 
Won't the mistral 
D             Em 
Blow it all away 
C           G 
Won't the mistral 
        D 
Blow away  ...
