C G D
C G D Em
Am C Dadd4
C Em
So we already wrecked the rental car
G Em
And I've already lost my way
C Em
My feet entombed in this tourist bar
Am C
For a day, anyway
C Em
So lay me down on the cobblestones
G Em
And unfurl this aching jib
C Em
The streets all built on ancient bones
Am C
And the crib of the ribs
C G
Won't the mistral
D Em
Blow it all away
C G
Won't the mistral
D
Blow away
C G
Won't the mistral
D Em
Blow it all away
Am C Dadd4
Won’t it blow, won’t it blow, won’t it blow
C Em
So it's me and you and the baby boy
G Em
And a fourth to share the weight
C Em
We're eking out a little joy
Am C
From what awaits back in the States, aay
C G
Won't the mistral
D Em
Blow it all away
C G
Won't the mistral
D
Blow away

Won’t it blow, won’t it blow, won’t it blow
(Honky-tonk piano, guitar solos)
