I was [G]lost in [C]France,

I was [G]lost in [C]France,
In the [Am]street a band was [D]playing,
And the [G]crowd all [C]danced,
Didn’t [Am]catch what they were [D]saying.
When I [C]looked up, he was [Bm]standing there,
I [C]knew I shouldn’t, but I [Cm]didn`t care

And the [Am]vines were over[D]flowing,
I was [G]lost in [C]France,
And a [Am]million stars were [D]glowing.
And I [C]looked round for a [Bm]telephone,
To [C]say Baby, I [Cm]won’t be home.
I was [G]lost in [C]France,[D]in [G]love.


[C]Oo la la la la, oo la la dance,
[G]Oo la la la I’m dancing.
