La Vie en Rose – Edith Piaf
Edith Piaf
La Vie en Rose (1947)
(Édith Piaf (lyrics) / Louiguy and Marguerite Monnot (melody))
French and English Combined
capo: 1st fret
I couldn't find a recording of this version, I heard someone over this song with the english chorus and verse
into the french and it was really beautiful to hear both versions in one. The chords are similar to the ones
in version five but placement i felt was a little different, The way I wrote was for my personal use
but I felt maybe others would like to use this version I heard as well. The strumming pattern is a little
weird, during the verse its only one strum per chords as is the same with certain parts of the song.
I think if you know the song you'll be able to feel it out.
But please let me know anyway I can alter this to make it more accurate if not already.
Intro
[G] [Am] [Cm] [G] [D]
Chorus
[G] [Gmaj7]
Hold me close and hold me fast
[Em]
This magic spell cast
[Am] [D]
This is la vie en ro - se
[Am] [D]
When you kiss me heaven sighs
[Am]
And though I close my eyes
[D] [G] [D]
I see la vie en ro-se
[G] [Gmaj7]
When you press me to your heart
[Em]
I'm in a world apart
[G] [C]
A world where roses bloom
[Cm]
And when you speak
[G]
Angels sing from above
[A] [D]
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs
[G] [Gmaj7]
Give your heart and soul to me
[Am] [D] [C] [D] [G]
And life will always be la vie en rose
Verse
[G]
I thought love was just a word
[E] [Am]
They sung a-bout in songs I heard
[D] [G] [Dm]
It took your kisses to reveal
[E] [D]
That I was wrong, and love is real
Chorus
[G] [Gmaj7]
Quand il me prend dans ses bras
[Em]
Il me parle tout bas
[Am] [D]
Je vois la vie en ro - se
[Am] [D]
Il me dit des mots d'amour
[Am]
Des mots de tous le jours
[D] [G] [G#m] [D]
Et ça me fait quelque chose
[G] [Gmaj7]
Il est entré dans mon coeur
[Em]
Une part de bonheur
[G] [C]
Dont je connais la cause
[Cm]
C'est lui pour moi
[G]
Moi pour lui dans la vie
[A] [D]
Il me l'a dit, l'a juré pour la vie
[G]
Et dès que je l'aperçois
[Am] [D] [Am] [D] [G]
Alors je sens en moi, mon coeur qui bat ...
[G] [Gmaj7] [Em] [Am] [D] [Am] [D] [G]
la la la...
