G
i met a girl named gabrielle
she was dressed in black and young as hell
C
she took me to her domicile
D
invited me to stay a while

G
she fed me breakfast and fed me wine
and later on we took the time
C
to explore each others areas
D Em
run into a language barrier

G
it can be so frustrating
C Am
the way we insist on communicating
C D
but i do not parley – vous you

G
i don’t speak french
C D G
but somehow i’ve gotten on her good side
C D G
oh! i don’t speak french
C D G
but there’s only one thing on her mind .
oh i .

G
voulez – vous mon ami
bonsoir , baby
C
is all i know how to say right now
D
but you can bet i’m learning how

G
’cos where i’m from the thing to do
is to paint yourself red , white and blue
C
how about you?
D Em
can you say you do the same thing too
G
i’m just your average yankee
C Am
trapped in a world of french hanky – panky
C D
but i do not parlez – vous you

G
i don’t speak french
C D G
but i’ve got a shit load of euros
C D G
oh i! i don’t speak french
C D G
but that doesn’t matter to french girls .
C D G
oh i . come on!

C D G C D G

there’s a plane on the ground at jfk
C
for me it waits
D
to carry me away to you
G
the things we did
the things we didn’t do
C
oh gabrielle
D Em
i learnt so much from you

G
you taught me how to surrender
C Am
instinctual behavior from a time you don’t remember
C D
but thank god the allies crushed the nazis on the 6th of november

G
i don’t speak french
C D G
but somehow i’ve gotten on a good time
C D G
oh i! i don’t speak french
C D G
but there’s only one thing on her mind .
C D G
oh yeah! i don’t speak french
C D G
but that doesn’t matter to french girls
C D G
oh i! i don’t speak french
C D G
’cos it’s useless most places in the world .
