Cadence - bit of a jaunty sea shanty -worth listening to the song to get the cadence
Note Original is more F B chords
Intro (usually a mandolin)
C F C (x2)
C
The weather is clearing, birds are appearing,
F C
and I'm only three miles from Dover,
C
to the wind and the ocean, I'm throwing caution,
F C
oh, I can't wait to get back over.
F C
After two 'Beaujolais' everybody is laughing,
F C
it's better than smoking and its two times as healthy,
F C
my pockets are empty but I'm feeling wealthy,
Dm F
la, la la la la la, la la ...
C F
I've got to get back to the Seine City,
C F
I've got to get back where the girls are so pretty,
C F
I've got to get back to the Seine City,
Dm F C
I've got to get back to those eyes.

C
The last time I was there, she wore her gold hair,
F C
tied at the back in a pigtail,
C
I wonder if she still cares, or even if she's still there,
F C
oh, I don't want to go into details.
F C
Well, the street that she lived in was called Rue Moutard
F C
I hope I can find it without asking directions,
F C
I'm so glad I made my own French connection
Dm. F. C
la, la la la la la, la la ...
C F
I'd like to live in the Seine City,
C F
I'd like to live where the girls are so pretty,
C F
I'd like to live in the Seine City,
Dm. F C
I've got to get back to those eyes.
