A Rainy Night In Paris

Well, here is a simple version of a guitar arrangement

of the song "A Rainy Night In Paris" from the album

"At Then End Of A Perfect Day" by Chris de Burgh.

This original song features a piano and a saxophone.

This arrangement may be used as a main frame, without much

difficulty, to which you can add your own variations.

The conclusion is a variation on the main theme.

It's a rainy night in Paris,

And the harbour lights are low.

He must leave his love in Paris

Before the winter snow.

On a lonely street in Paris,

He held her close to say

" We'll meet again in Paris

When there are flowers on the Champs-Elysees. "

" How long " she said " How long,

And will your love be strong ?

When you're across the sea,

Will your love remember me ? "

Then she gave him words to turn to

When the winter nights were long.

" Nous serons encore amoureux

Avec les couleurs du printemps. "

" And then " she said " And then,

Our love will grow again. "

Ah, but in her eyes he sees

Her words of love are only words to please.

And now the lights of Paris

Grow dim and fade away.

And I know by the light of Paris

I will never see her again.
