[Verse 1]
Dm
Let me tell of a time,
Dm6
When the world was in rhyme,
Am
With the sound of our laughter.
Dm7
Montmartre hung with flowers,
E7 Am7
For far-forgotten hours,
Of hunger and of love.
Dm
Unaware in our youth,
Dm6
Of the sobering truth,
Am
Of the years that came after.
Ddim
We laughed at common men,
E7
For we were heroes then,
Am A7
And heaven smiled above.
[Chorus 1]
C#dim Dm Am
La Bohème, La Bohème.
Dm E7 Am A7
Poor hungry you, poor hungry me.
Dm Dm6 Am
La Bohème, La Bohème.
Dm6 E7 Am A7
Silly old world that could not see.
[Verse 2]
Dm
All those innocent hearts,
Dm6
Who imagined their arts,
Am
Could be casually mastered.
Dm7
I miss them every one,
E7 Am7
For the sands of time have run
Away for each and all.
Dm
For it seems that our schemes,
Dm6
Were impossible dreams,
Am
That could never have lasted.
Ddim
For when we woke at last,
E7
The big parade had passed,
Am A7
And spring had gone its way.
[Chorus 2]
C#dim Dm Am
La Bohème, La Bohème.
Dm E7 Am A7
Someone to care, someone to mind.
Dm Dm6 Am
La Bohème, La Bohème.
Dm6 E7 Am A7
We were in love and love is blind.
[Verse 3]
Dm
Now and then I return,
Dm6
And the memories burn,
Am
With a bittersweet aching.
Dm7
I climb the same old stairs,
E7 Am7
But no-one longer cares,
And there's no-one to greet.
Dm
In the streets where we walked,
Dm6
And the bars where we talked,
Am
Of a world we were making.
Ddim
I stand upon that hill,
E7
Until I drink my fill,
Am A7
Then leave it all behind.
[Chorus 3]
C#dim Dm Am
La Bohème, La Bohème.
Dm E7 Am A7
Moments of joy, moments of pain.
Dm Dm6 Am
La Bohème, La Bohème.
Dm6 E7 Am
Nothing can bring them back again.
