The Legionaire's Lament Tabulatur von The Decemberists

Dm
I'm a Legionnaire
         F
Camel in disrepair
            Gm
Hoping for a Frigidaire
        Dm      A
To come passing by
        Dm
I am on reprieve
            F
Lacking my joie de vivre
           Gm
Missing my gay Paris
        Dm     A
In this desert dry
      F
And I wrote my girl
           Dm
Told her I would not return
              Bb
I've terribly taken a turn
        Dm           A
For the worst now, I fear
            Dm
It's been a year or more
                              F
Since they shipped me to this foreign shore
              Gm
Fighting in a foreign war
       Dm         A
So far away from my home
               F
If only summer rain would fall
       C 
On the houses and the boulevards
      Gm
And the sidewalk bagatelles
            Bb
It's like a dream
         F
With the roar of cars
        C
And the lolling of the cafe bars
    Gm                                Bb
The sweetly sleeping, sweeping of the Seine
       Gm                 Dm      A    Dm
Lord I don't know if I'll ever be back again
         F
La la la la
         Gm    Dm     A
La la la la
           Dm
Medicating in the sun
               F
Pinch doses of laudanum
                Gm
Longing for the old fecundity
Dm        A
Of my homeland
        Dm
Curses to this mirage!
            F
A bottle of ancient Shiraz
                Gm
A smattering of distant applause
          Dm     A
Is ringing in my poor ears
       Dm
On the old left bank
            F
My baby in a charabanc
            Gm
Riding up the width and length
       Dm       A
Of the Champs-Elysee

               F
If only summer rain would fall
       C
On the houses and the boulevards
       Gm
And the sidewalk bagatelles
            Bb
It's like a dream
         F
With the roar of cars
        C
And the lolling of the cafe bars
    Gm                                Bb
The sweetly sleeping, sweeping of the Seine
       Gm                 Dm      A       Dm
Lord I don't know if I'll ever be back again
         F
Be back again
         Gm
Be back again
             Dm      A
I'll be back again
          Dm
La la la la la
         F
La la la la
         Gm    
La la la la
        Dm     A    Dm
La la la la
