Album: Castaways and Cutouts
Song: The Legionnaire's Lament
[Verse 1]
Dm F
I'm a legionnaire, camel in disrepair,
G Bb A
hoping for a Frigidaire to come passing by.
Dm F
I am on reprieve, lacking my joise de vivre,
G Bb A
missing my gay Paree in this desert dry.
Dm F
And I wrote my girl, told her I would not
G
return, I've terribly taken a turn for the
Bb A Dm
worse now, I fear. It's been a year or more
F
since they shipped me to this foreign
G Bb
shore, fighting in a foreign, so far away
A
from my home.
[Chorus]
F C
If only some rain would fall on the house and
Gm
the boulevards and the sidewalks bagatelles (it's
Bb F
like a dream). With a roar of cars and the
C Gm
lolling of the cafe bars and the sweetly sleeping
Bb Bbm
sweeping of the Seine. Lord, I don't know if I'll
Dm F G Bb A
ever be back again. La Da Dum Dum La Da Da Dum
[Verse 2]
Medicating in the sun with pinch doses of
laudanum, longing for the old fecundity of
my homeland. Curses to this mirage! A
bottle of ancient shiraz! The 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 Elysee.
[Chorus]
F C
If only some rain would fall on the house and
Gm
the boulevards and the sidewalks bagatelles (it's
Bb F
like a dream). With a roar of cars and the
C Gm
lolling of the cafe bars and the sweetly sleeping
Bb Bbm
sweeping of the Seine. Lord, I don't know if I'll
Dm F G Bb A
ever be back again. La Da Dum Dum La Da Da Dum
[Interlude] Dm F G Bb A

[Outro]
Bbm F
... Lord, I don't know if I'll ever be back again,
C Gm Bb
be back again, be back again, O be back again.
F C Gm Bb Bbm
Oh oh oh oh oh, la la la la, la la la la, oh oh oh oh
