Comment: The chords have been worked out from a bass point-of-view.
So there has been no attempt to work out majors, minors, 7th's etc.



A -/12-/12-     Guitar does this bit, but bass can too.



[A]

Bought me a box, of French cigars, bought me a black beret

Get my French from the girl next door, teaching me night & day

Got me thinking `bout the south of France, vis?a?vis vous

Pack my suitcase, take a chance, got nothing to lose



A -0..-0-2-2-4-4-

Chorus:

[D]Gimme the sound of a [G]rolling dice

A -------3-5..

E -3..-5------

[D]Gimme a whiskey, [G]don't think twice

[D]Deal me the card that [G]takes my blues a[E]way

Take me away to Mar[A]seilles



Fast train, jet plane, money to burn, don't ask the reason why

Drinkin' champagne, playin' it cool, don't even have to try



Baby,



Chorus
