[Intro 1]
[C][G]
[C]

[Verse 1]
I [C]met her down in Baton
Rouge about a year ago
We were listening to a band that
played at a [G]place called Zydeco
I fi[F]nally got the nerve up to
say [C]come dance with [F]me
And my [C]knees turned to butter when
she [G]answered "C'est la vie"
[C]

[Verse 2]
I told her don't say goodbye my
love just tell me "Au revoir"
Don't say goodnight just let me
[G]hear "Mon cher, bon soir"
She [F]wrapped my heart around her
little [C]finger inch by [F]inch
Cause [G]everything sounds better when

[Interlude 1]
you're hearing it in French.
[C]
[G][C]

[Verse 3]
I [C]don't recall a lot of what
she said to me that night
It never really mattered cause
she [G]made it all sound right
[F]When the night was over she
was [C]gone like cajun [F]smoke
But I [C]still recall the language of
the an[G]gels that she spoke
[C]

[Verse 4]
I told her don't say goodbye my
love just tell me "Au revoir"
Don't say goodnight just let me
[G]hear "Mon cher, bon soir"
She [F]wrapped my heart around her
little [C]finger inch by [F]inch
Cause [G]everything sounds better when you're

[Interlude 2]
hearing it in French.
[C]
[G][F][C][F][C]
[G][C]

[Verse 5]
Now [C]every chance I get I take
the drive to Baton Rouge
And stopping down at Zydecos to
[G]hear a song or two
Well, [F]if she's ever in there, boys,
just [C]get out of my [F]way
Cause I [C]got a few more phrases that
I'd [G]love to hear her say
[C]

[Verse 6]
I'll tell her don't say goodbye my
love just tell me "au revoir"
Don't say goodnight just let me
[G]hear "Mon cher, bon soir"
She [F]wrapped my heart around her
little [C]finger inch by [F]inch
Cause [G]everything sounds better when you're
hearing it in French.
[C]

[Verse 7]
[G]Yeah, everything sounds better when
you're hearing it in French
N.C.
Mmm, [C]yeah, that's what I'm
saying
