Monsieur Dupont

Tom: D

             D
The rain was falling down
          D
as I flew out of town,
          G     A7      D
I went to Paris for the day,
                   F#m            Bm
And there I got to know a certain Romeo
     G                        A
with oh so gentle continental ways


[Chorus]
           Em             A7
Monsieur Dupont, la la ta ta,
           D7             Bm
Monsieur Dupont, la la la la,
            G            A7
You made me see so tenderly
           D     G       A7
that I was never loved before,
           Em             A7
Monsieur Dupont, la la ta ta,
            D7              Bm
I know it's wrong, la la la la,
             G          A7         D
That I don't ever wanna go home anymore


[Verse 2]
            D
You said hello to me,
        D
And I began to see
             G       A7        D
that I could fall in love with you,
            F#m                 Bm
I seemed to realise the kind of paradise
     G                              A
your continental kiss could lead me to


[Verse 3]
             D
I'm learning every day
            D
a different word to say,
          G          A7    D
I know je t'aime and je t'adore,
              F#m
But won't you tell me how,
             Bm
Oh won't you tell me now,
    G                                 A
The way you say en français – give me more


[Outro]
           Bm
Monsieur Dupont...
             G          A7         D
That I don't ever wanna go home anymore
