This is probably the most beautiful lullabye I have every heard.  I don't
remember what album it's on--it belonged to a long-gone roommate--but it's
not hard to find, even in America.  If you really want to know what album
it's on, email me and I can find out, no problem.
 
This song is fingerpicked, but uses totally conventional chords, so I won't
bother tabbing it.  A list of the chords are at the end.  It's in 4/4, but
each I've indicated represents one half of a meause, or two beats.
 
Have fun!
 
 
Intro:
E E E E E E E E
 
Chorus:
E            B              C#m                A
Pleures pas, petite sir^?ne,    la ville dort encore
    E                 B       A A
Ton histoire commence ^? peine
E            B              C#m          A
Pleures pas, petite sir^?ne,    le jour attend dehors
E                 B
  Dans les brumes des fontaines
A  A  A/E  A/E
 
1st verse:
   E                  B     E                   A
Ce matin est si clair,   ce silence est si doux
    E                B                    C#m                        C#m
Les paroles d'hommes flottent dans l'air, tout le monde a rendez-vous
E                   B            C#m                  A
  Le jour est pass^? tout entier, creus^? sur nos joues
E                       B                   A                          A
  Tu d^?chires tout d'un trait de lumi^?re et c'est la vie tout d'un coup
A/E  A/E
         La vie tout d'un coup
 
REPEAT CHORUS
 
2nd verse:
?a se voit que tu viens de chez les anges, t'es belle comme tout
?a se voit que nos mani^?res te d^?rangent, et ces lumi^?res partout
Tous ces fant^?mes qui te touchent, ces mains qui te secouent
Cette bouff^?e d'air froid dans ta bouche, c'est la vie tout d'un coup
La vie tout d'un coup
 
REPEAT CHORUS
 
3rd verse:
Voil^? que tu viens comme une reine juste ^? la pointe du jour
Avec, dans son ^?cho de porcelaine, ton appel au secours
Comme un signal pour qui s'^?gr^?ne ce temps qui s'enfuit ^? son tour
D'abord les heures, les jours, les semaines, et puis les ann^?es d'amour
Les ann^?es d'amour
 
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
