Tous Les Animaux Sont Tristes - Ralph McTell Guitar Chords

INTRO--D--C/D--B/D--A/D-
G--------D---C----------D
Tous les animaux sont tristes
C-------------D------G
Apres avoir faire l'amour
G-------------D----------C--------D
Wondering if there was more than this
C-------------------D--------G---[--------F#/G---Em-
Wishing that there could be more-[just a little more. ]
--Asus-Am---D--C/D--B/D--A/D-]

G----------------D-----C---D
Harry bought a little boat
G---------------------D----------C---D
And with his boat he made some money
G---------------------D---------------C---D
His wife bore him a daughter and two sons
G---------------------D---------------C---D
The sun shone and they were never hungry
G-----------------D---------------C---D
He bought more boats, a bigger house
G-----------------D-------C---D
And more ships were his goal
G----------D-----C-----D
But even after making love
G---------------------D------C---D
There was a darkness in his soul.

Chorus

His fortune and his children grew strong
His wife slept sweet contented
He paced the floor till dawn sometimes
Until the night relented
One morning he heard a song bird sing
A song to take his darkness away
And he put a roof over his garden
So that forever it would stay.

Chorus

But the songbird was small and plain
With its heartache healing song
And he tired of the repetition
And wished that it was gone
So he tore the roof from off his garden
But he'd fed the bird and it remained
Till he shot a silver arrow through her heart
And his darkness came again.

Chorus

In time the children forgot
The loss of their singing bird
And the light came back to their garden
As his emptiness returned
So he sailed away in one of his ships
Married a rich widow in America
In photographs they were always smiling
He needed her but did he really love her?

Chorus

Siúil a Rún (Irish Love Song) - Clannad Guitar Chords

Intro --Am----G-Am---F---G--Am---C---Am---G--Am
--F----G---F--Am--F--G--Am
----------Am---------Em---------F

Am----G-Am---F---G--Am
I wish I was on yonder hill
------C--Am-G-Am--F----G
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill,
-------F---Am---------F--G-Am
And every tear would turn a mill,
---------Am--------Em-----Am
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

Chorus (in phonetic Gaelic)
Am----G-Am---F---G--Am
Shule, shule, shule aroon,
------C--Am-G-Am--F------G
Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn,
-------F---Am---------F--G-Am
Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume,
---------Am------Em-------F
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel,
I'll sell my only spinning wheel,
To buy my love a sword of steel
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

Chorus

I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red,
And 'round the world I'll beg my bread,
Until my parents shall wish me dead,
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

Chorus

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,
I wish I had my heart again,
And vainly think I'd not complain,
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

Chorus

But now my love has gone to France,
To try his fortune to advance;
If he e'er come back, 'tis but a chance,
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

Chorus
