Hey, this is my very FISRT "tab" basically, even though it's chords.
I love this song and have never been able to find chords for it,
so i decided to do it myself, another first.
I've never put chords to a song before on my own either...and i've been playing for
2 and a 1/2 years.
lol I don't know if it's competely right, i doubt it,
i did it by ear, but hopefully you all can comment
and tell what you think or if i should change any chords or w/e.
My name is Molly btw. I'm not registered here; Not sure if i want
to do that yet. I just wanted to submit this. Hopefully you guys enjoy!
Intro: D, A/d (i think) play it however long you want to, i couldn't get it exactly but
would say at least X2, maybe X4
Verse 1:
THE TRAIN PULLED INTO PARIS
LIKE A ROCKET TO THE MOON
THE STATION’S LIKE A CIRCUS EVERY
FACE IS A CARTOON
EVERYBODY’S STONED ON PRIDE AND
DRUNK ON CHEAP CHAMPAGNE
TONIGHT THIS JOIE DE VIVRE SURE DON’T
LIVE UP TO ITS NAME
AND NOW ALL THAT I CAN SAY
Chorus:
IS I’D GIVE THIS WORLD TO YOU
EVERY ROCK AND EVERY STONE
EVERY MASTERPIECE IN ROME
AND IF YOU ASKED ME TO
I’D STEAL THE MONA LISA,
TEAR IT UP IN LITTLE PIECES
AND LAY THEM AT YOUR FEET
FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE
BUT TONIGHT I CAN’T GIVE YOU PARIS
(Back to intro)
Verse2:
ARISTOCRATS ARE EVERYWHERE
AND THE AIR’S AS THICK AS THIEVES
SHE’D LIKE NOTHING BETTER THAN TO
STEAL THE BREATH FROM ME
THE TOWER’S LIGHTS AIN’T SHININ’ AS IT
HANGS ITS HEAD IN SHAME
AT THE SIGHT OF AMERICAN BLOOD ON THE
STREETS OF ST. GERMAIN
WASHIN’ UP INTO THE SEINE
Chorus:
AND I’D GIVE THIS WORLD TO YOU
EVERY ROCK AND EVERY STONE
EVERY MASTERPIECE IN ROME
AND IF YOU ASKED ME TO
I’D STEAL THE MONA LISA,
TEAR IT UP IN LITTLE PIECES
AND LAY THEM AT YOUR FEET
FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE
BUT TONIGHT I CAN’T GIVE YOU PARIS
(intro again)
Chorus 2:
AND I’D GIVE THIS WORLD TO YOU
I’D STEAL THE CROWN AND KINGDOM
FROM THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND
AND IF YOU ASKED ME TO
I’D TAKE THIS CITY IN MY HANDS,
BREAK IT DOWN IN GRAINS OF SAND
AND LAY THEM AT YOUR FEET
FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE
BUT TONIGHT I CAN’T GIVE YOU PARIS
(intro again and end on D, which is probably kind of obvious, lol)
