Jehro — The Passers-By

Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

This song is kind of an english version of "Les Passantes - Georges Brassens".
It shares almost the same melody and chord progression pitched up by 1 and a half tone.
Thus removing the capo 3th will leave you with the same key as the "original" Georges Brassens' song.

[Intro]
F E A7 Dm Am G Am Am

[Verse 1]
  F                      E
I sing you a song that I offer
   A7                Dm
To all the women you love for
  Am        G7           C         E
A moment, a brief secret time

   F                           E
To those that you scarcely had met when
  A7                Dm
A different destiny led them
   Am               G    Am        Am
To places you can't even find

[Verse 2]
   F                       E
To her that you saw for an instant
 A7                        Dm
Appear at her window quite distant
     Am         G7    C         E
Then suddenly vanish away

    F                      E
Her slim silhouette a mere outline
   A7                       Dm
So gracefully faded for all time
    Am              G           Am       Am
But filled you with joy come to stay

[Verse 3]
   F                       E
To her on a train you were travelling
      A7                      Dm
Whose beautiful eyes left you marvelling
    Am            G7         C           E
And shortened the journey so much

   F                   E
Perhaps you alone understood her
    A7                           Dm
You watched her get out: But you couldn't
Am                 G              Am       Am
Even give her soft hand one light touch

[Verse 4]
   F               E
To women already bespoken
    A7                            Dm
Who find that their life's a mere token
     Am           G7           C      E
With someone that seems not to care

     F                    E
They once, in a moment of madness
   A7                    Dm
Described the unbearable sadness
     Am             G       Am     Am
When life holds our only despair

[Verse 5]
    F                         E
The vision once glimpsed and idealised
    A7                          Dm
The shortest-lived hopes, never realised
  Am           G7             C      E
Remains in our minds just one day

   F                     E
Whatever brief happiness takes you
    A7                     Dm
The memory will quickly forsake you
   Am             G           Am     Am
Of those you once met on your way

[Verse 6]
    F                          E
But feeling your life has been wasted
    A7                          Dm
You wish with regret that you'd tasted
    Am               G7              C      E
And known what these joys might have been

    F                    E
The kisses you dared not discover
    A7                      Dm
The hearts that await you forever
      Am             G         Am     Am
Those eyes and their glances unseen

[Verse 7]
     F                        E
When weariness lengthens your evenings
    A7                    Dm
You people your solitude, grieving
     Am            G7       C        E
With phantoms your memory retains

    F                          E
You mourn absent lips of these countless
     A7                   Dm
Fair passers-by briefly encountered
Am              G      Am          Am
You didn't know how to detain
