Yvette In English (From the Thousand Roads album)
Eb F Gm
He met her in a french cafe
Eb F Gm
She slipped in sideways like a cat
Eb F Gm
Sidelong glances, what a wary little stray&127;
Eb F Bb
She sticks in his mind like that
Bb Gm
Saying 'avez vous un alumette'
Cm Eb
With her lips wrapped around a cigarette
Eb F Gm
Yvette in English saying please have this
Eb F Gb Ab Gm
Little bit of instant bliss.
Eb F Gm
He's struggling with a foreign tongue
Eb F Gm
Reaching for words and drawing blanks
Eb F Gm
A loud mouth is stricken deaf and dumb
Eb F Bb
In a bistro on the left bank
Bb Gm
If I was a painter Picasso said
Cm Eb
I'd paint this girl from toe to head
Eb F Gm
Yvette in English, saying please have this
Eb F Gb Ab Gm
Little bit of instant bliss
Eb F Gm
Burgundy nocturne tips and spills
Eb F Gm
They move along nicely in the spreading stain
Eb F
New chills, new thrills
Gm
For the old uphill battle
Eb F Bb
How did he wind up here again
Bb Gm
Walking and talking touched and scared
Cm Eb
Uninsulated wires bare
Eb F Gm
Yvette in English saying 'please have this
Eb F Gb Ab Gm
Little bit of instant bliss
Eb F Gm
What blew her like a leaf his way
Eb F Gm
Up in the air and down to earth
Eb F Gm
First she flusters, then she frays
Eb F Bb
So quick to question her own worth
Bb Gm
Her cigarette burns her finger tips
Cm Eb
It falls like fireworks, she curses it
Eb F Gm
Sweetly in English she says 'please have this
Eb F Gb Ab Gm
Little bit of instant bliss
Eb F Gm
He sees her turn and walk away
Eb F Gm
Skittering like a cat on a stone
Eb F Gm
Her high heels clicking, what a wary little stray
Eb F Bb
She leaves him by the Seine alone.
Bb Gm
With black water and amber lights
Cm Eb
And the bony bridge between left and right
Eb F Gm
Yvette in English, saying 'please have this
Eb F Gb Ab Gm
Little bit of instant bliss
