verse 1 

   C            C7 
Oh here it comes 
     F        F7 
That old ennui 
C                       G    G  G 
   I hope it won't stay long 
          C         C7 F            F7 
Well it's every-man to his own thing 
          C      G      C    F  C  G 
And every singer to his song 
             C       C7 
If you're feeling low 
    F        F7 
And all upset 
C                 G     G  G 
  Nothing's going right 
         C            C7         F        F7 
You just make a wish, like in a fairy tale 
         C                 G         C      F  C  G 
And I'll bewitch you if it takes all night 
          C          C7 
There are many things 
     F          F7 
That I could say 
C                     G    G  G 
   To try and comfort you 
      C              C7  F              F7 
But I know the words you'd like to hear are 
C       G      C     F  C  G 
simply "I love you"

verse 2 

    C           C7 
Sometimes I'm up 
    F             F7 
Sometimes I'm down 
C                G     G  G 
   A topsy-turvy life 
    C        C7    F            F7 
But only searching for the truth 
         C             G         C      F  C  G 
And I'll find it if it takes all night 
     C       C7 
Well I myself 
    F           F7 
May main concern 
C                  G     G  G 
   Is what I can afford 
      C     C7    F       F7 
So if music be my mistress 
        C            G      C      F  C  G 
Then at least she is Madame Claude  -  d'accord

verse 3 

   C             C7 
Ah more champagne! 
   F             F7 
To lose this pain 
C                G     G  G 
   Would be very nice 
      C        C7   F                F7 
So I'll help myself to one more drink 
         C                 G         C      F  C  C7 
And I'll find myself if it takes all night
