Le P'tit Bonheur
Félix Leclerc (1948)

4/4  u | D u X u D u X u | D u ...
     &   1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &   1 &

C'est [Gm] un petit bonheur que j'avais rama- [Cm] ssé
Il était tout en [D7] pleurs sur le bord d'un fo- [Gm] ssé
Quand [Gm] il m'a vu passer il s'est mis à cri- [Cm] er
Monsieur ramassez- [D7] moi chez vous amenez- [G] moi

Mes [G] frères m'ont oublié je suis tombé je suis ma- [A] lade
Si [A] vous n'me cueillez point, je vais mourir quelle ba- [D7] lade
Je [G] me ferai petit, tendre, soumis  je vous le [A] jure
Monsieur, je vous en [D7] prie, délivrez-moi de ma tor- [Gm] ture

J'ai [Gm] pris le p'tit bonheur, l'ai mis sous mes [Cm] haillons
J'ai dit faut pas qui [D7] meurt viens t'en dans ma mai- [Gm] son
A- [Gm] lors le p'tit bonheur a fait sa guéri- [Cm] son
Sur le bord de mon [D7] coeur y'avait une chan- [G] son

Mes [G] jours, mes nuits, mes peines, mes deuils, mon mal, tout fut ou- [A] blié
Ma [A] vie de désoeuvré j'avais l'dégoût d'la r'commen- [D7] cer
Quand [G] il pleuvait dehors ou  q'mes amis faisaient des [A] peines
J'prenais mon p'tit bon- [D7] heur et j'lui disais c'est toi ma [Gm] reine

Mon [Gm] bonheur a fleuri, il a fait des bour- [Cm] geons
C'était le para- [D7] dis ça s'voyait sur mon [Gm] front
Hors un matin joli que j'sifflais ce re- [Cm] frain
Mon bonheur est par- [D7] ti sans me donner la [G] main

J'eus [G] beau le supplier le cajoler lui faire des [A] scènes
Lui montrer le grand trou qu'il me faisait au fond du [D7] coeur
Il [G] s'en allait toujours la tête haute sans joie sans [A] haine
Comme s'il ne pouvait [D7] plus voir le soleil dans ma de- [Gm] meure

J'ai [Gm] bien pensé mourir de chagrin et d'en- [Cm] nui
J'avais cessé de [D7] rire c'était toujours la [Gm] nuit
Il me restait l'oublie il me restait l'mé- [Cm] pris
Enfin que j'me suis [D7] dit il me reste la [G] vie

J'ai [G] repris mon bâton, mes deuils, mes peines et mes gue- [A] nilles
Et je bat la semelle dans les pays de malheu- [D7] reux
Au- [G] jourd'hui quand je vois une fontaine ou une [A] fille
Je fais un grand dé- [D7] tour ou bien je me ferme les [G] yeux

Je [A] fais un grand dé- [D7] tour ou bien je me ferme les [G] yeux

[D7↓]... Grab your [G] coat and get your [B7] hat,

I used to [G7] walk in the shade.
With those [C] blues on parade.
But [A7] I'm not afraid.
This [D7↓↓] rover [Z↓↓] crossed [D7↓↓] over.

If I [G] never have a [B7] cent,
I'll be [C] rich as Rocke- [D7] feller.

on the [Am7] sunny [D7] side of the [G]street.
