Dm baritone chordDm
I'm a Legionnaire
F baritone chordF
Camel in disrepair
Gm baritone chordGm
Hoping for a Frigidaire
Dm baritone chordDm A baritone chordA
To come passing by
Dm baritone chordDm
I am on reprieve
F baritone chordF
Lacking my joie de vivre
Gm baritone chordGm
Missing my gay Paris
Dm baritone chordDm A baritone chordA
In this desert dry
F baritone chordF
And I wrote my girl

Told her I would not return
Bb baritone chordBb
I've terribly taken a turn
Dm baritone chordDm A baritone chordA
For the worst now, I fear
Dm baritone chordDm
It's been a year or more
F baritone chordF
Since they shipped me to this foreign shore
Gm baritone chordGm
Fighting in a foreign war
Dm baritone chordDm A baritone chordA
So far away from my home
F baritone chordF
If only some rain would fall
C baritone chordC Bb baritone chordBb
On the houses and the boulevards
Gm baritone chordGm
And the sidewalk bagatelles
Bb baritone chordBb
It's like a dream
F baritone chordF
With the roar of cars
C baritone chordC Bb baritone chordBb
And the lolling of the cafe bars
Gm baritone chordGm Bb baritone chordBb
The sweetly sleeping, sweeping of the Seine
Gm baritone chordGm Dm baritone chordDm A baritone chordA Dm baritone chordDm
Lord I don't know if I'll ever be back again
F baritone chordF
La la la la
Gm baritone chordGm Dm baritone chordDm A baritone chordA
La la la la
Dm baritone chordDm
Medicating in the sun
F baritone chordF
Pinch doses of laudanum
Gm baritone chordGm
Longing for the old fecundity
Dm baritone chordDm A baritone chordA
Of my homeland
Dm baritone chordDm
Curses to this mirage!
F baritone chordF
A baritone chordA bottle of ancient Shiraz
Gm baritone chordGm
A baritone chordA smattering of distant applause
Dm baritone chordDm A baritone chordA
Is ringing in my poor ears
Dm baritone chordDm
On the old left bank
F baritone chordF
My baby in a charabanc
Gm baritone chordGm
Riding up the width and length
Dm baritone chordDm A baritone chordA
Of the Champs-Elysee

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

The Bb during the "lolling of cafe bars" in the chorus doesn't sound quite right to me. Otherwise, spot on.
