Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
A Brilliant cover of a Cole Porter number from the album Red Hot + Blue. I could not find any chords from any
songs on the album, so I'm going to try to transcribe my favourite ones.
Let me know in comments if anything can be improved, sometimes it's hard to hear the subtle details
Notes: There obviously a lot of ornamentation from each chord change, but hopefully these chords will give
you a base and then from listening to the song you will be able to improvise a bit to enhance it
Intro (this part is in French but I can only find the English):
G C
Every time I look down on this timeless town
Am D
Whether blue or gray be her skies
G C Am
Whether loud be her cheers or whether soft be her tears
D G
More and more do I realise that
Interlude:
G C D# D G
G
I love Paris in the springtime
D
I love Paris in the fall
Am D
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles
Am D G
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles
I love Paris every moment
D
Every moment of the year
C
I love Paris
G
Why, oh, why do I love Paris?
D C G
Because my love is near
