About
Another chanson of the great Edith Piaf, published in 1960. Mega-seller in my country, but totally flopped in the US for reasons beyond my grasp.
Original Key
D major
Tuning
gCEA (well, not really ….. see Tab Notes)
Tab Notes
The song is comprising two completely different parts: The up-tempo chorus [ A ] with the well known melody and the less popular verse [ B ] which is played quite freely and modulates to F minor.
The two red Db at the end of the verse are originally one octave lower, so, taking this tab business seriously - which I don’t - the song would require a low-G tuning. At least when you want to play it in the easy key of F. As so often, I cheated a little, but
- Hardly anyone knows the verse of the song
- I hate this stupid rockstar habit of permanently changing the instruments.
- What the heck for two notes ??
So get wise, Milord.
