Alons, viens encore, cherie. 
                  E    F#m     E          E7            A
J'attendrai patiemment sous la lampe dans la vieille avenue. 

A          D
Then I may end 
A       Bm        E  E7
She had things to buy
A          D
I close my eyes 
A     Bm         E  E7
Yet I don't know why 
A          D               E    D   A
I gave her money; said she knew someone 
        D        E     D  A
And she said she won't be long 

    Bm    E       A                  Bm       D       A
Lamplight keep on burning while this heart of mine is yearning
    Bm    E       A                 Bm      D        A
Lamplight keep on burning till this love of yours is mine 

A      D    A       Bm           E    E7
I sat alone with my thoughts and laughed  
A             D    A     Bm       E   E7
Then saw your face in an old photograph 
A        D                  E    D       A       D       E D  A
I didn't think that I could live without you but what am I to do ? 

    Bm    E       A                  Bm       D       A
Lamplight keep on burning while this heart of mine is yearning
    Bm    E       A                 Bm      D        A
Lamplight keep on burning till this love of yours is mine 

A          D    A                              E
Come home again dear, I have waited year after year 
F#m       E       E7         A
under the lamp in our old avenue 
   D          E            F#m       D             Bm      E  E7
If all in the world that's laughing, why should it make us cry? 

A D A E F#m E E7 A
Ah...
