Notes:
The fret positions are in relation to the capo.
I have given only the basic patterns.
Although this tuning and these chords work,
there is probably a better tuning and an easier
way to play this song. Please let me know if you
figure out something easier, or come up with a
better tuning.

1st verse:
002120 x02242 002120 800890
L'Allemande used to visit me in Paris in Paris
002120 x02242 002120 800890
I remember the men I re- member the houses in

And he'd come in looking for comfort
x77650 800800 x70600 700898
Leave again looking to the left and the right
x77997 x67886
Did we see too much
x77997 x67886
Say too little
870600 202200
Stepping over every dark thing
870600 202200
would it all be true tomorrow

But, he loves me

2nd verse: same patterns as 1st verse
077650 099800 899800 700898
I walk with my head held high and naked in the

sun claiming these streets for my- self

3rd verse:
002120 x02242 002120 800890
I am the unchanging narrative, I don't resolve
002120 x02242 002120 800890
neatly
002120 x02242 002120 800890
And I am the unchained melody, the current of the need
002120 x02242 002120 800890
to survive
