Comment: The chords have been worked out from a bass point-of-view. So
there has been no attempt to work out majors, minors, 7th's etc.
A -/12-/12- Guitar does this bit, but bass can too.
A
Bought me a box, of French cigars, bought me a black beret
Get my French from the girl next door, teaching me night & day
Got me thinking `bout the south of France, vis?a?vis vous
Pack my suitcase, take a chance, got nothing to lose
A -0..-0-2-2-4-4-
Chorus:
{D}Gimme the sound of a {G}rolling dice
A -------3-5..
E -3..-5------
{D}Gimme a whiskey, {G}don't think twice
{D}Deal me the card that {G}takes my blues a{E}way
Take me away to Mar{A}seilles
Fast train, jet plane, money to burn, don't ask the reason why
Drinkin' champagne, playin' it cool, don't even have to try
Baby,
