[C] [G] [Em] [D]

[C] You got a fast [G] car.
[Em] I want a ticket to [D] anywhere.
[C] Maybe we make a [G] deal,
[Em] Maybe together we can [D] get somewhere.

[C] Any place is [G] better.
[Em] Starting from zero, got [D] nothing to lose.
[C] Maybe we'll make [G] something,
[Em] Me myself, I got [D] nothing to prove.

[C] [G] [Em] [D]
[C] [G] [Em] [D]

[C] You got a fast [G] car.
[Em] I got a plan to [D] get us out of here:
[C] I been working at the [G] convenience store,
[Em] Managed to save just a [D] little bit of money.

[C] Won't have to drive too [G] far
[Em] Just 'cross the border and [D] into the city,
[C] You and I can [G] both get jobs
And [Em] finally see what it [D] means to be living.

[C] [G] [Em] [D]
[C] [G] [Em] [D]

You see, [C] my old man's got a [G] problem
He [Em] live with the bottle, that's the [D] way it is.
He [C] says his body's too old for [G] working,
His [Em] body's too young to [D] look like his.

My [C] mama went off and [G] left him,
she [Em] wanted more from life than [D] he could give,
I said, "[C] Somebody's got to take [G] care of him."
So [Em] I quit school and that's [D] what I did.

[C] [G] [Em] [D]
[C] [G] [Em] [D]

[C] You got a fast [G] car.
But is it [Em] fast enough so we can [D] fly away?
[C] We gotta make a de- [G] cision
[Em] Leave tonight or live and [D] die this way.

[C] [G] [Em] [D]
[C] [G] [Em] [D]

Chorus
So remember when we were [C] driving, driving in your car,
The [G] speed so fast I felt like I was drunk,
[Em] City lights lay out before us
And your [D] arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder.
And [C] I - [Em] I   had a [D] feeling that I belonged
And [C] I - [Em] I   had a [D] feeling I could be someone,
[C] be someone, [D] be someone.

[C] [G] [Em] [D]
[C] [G] [Em] [D]

[C] You got a fast [G] car.
And [Em] we go cruising to enter- [D] tain ourselves;
[C] you still ain't got a [G] job
And I [Em] work in a market as a [D] checkout girl.

[C] I know things will get [G] better
[Em] You'll find work and [D] I'll get promoted,
[C] We'll move out of the [G] shelter
[Em] Buy a bigger house and [D] live in the suburbs.

[C] [G] [Em] [D]
[C] [G] [Em] [D]

[C] [G] [Em] [D]

[C] You got a fast [G] car.
And [Em] I got a job that [D] pays all our bills.
[C] You stay out drinking [G] late at the bar,
You see [Em] more your friends than you [D] do your kids.
[C] I'd always hoped for [G] better,
[Em] Thought maybe together [D] you and me would find it,
[C] I got no plans I ain't [G] going nowhere,
so [Em] take your fast car and [D] keep on driving.

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
