Here I Am

(F)I've been kind of missing Mom and (D)Daddy,

But (Gm7)sort of in a spin since (C7)Cincinnati.

The (F)morning flight, a (F7)major bore.

But (Bdim7)then don they open the cabin door,

and zoot alors!

Here I am!

(C7)Lord (F)knows I had the will and the (D)resources.

But (Gm7)Mom and Dad kept saying,

"Hold your (C7)horses."

I (F)guess those ponies (F7)couldn't wait.

But (Bdim7)Par don me folks, but they've left the gate.

I be late, but here I am!

(C7)Lord (Gb)(F)Ah, the (Gm7)way to be,

to (Eb7)me, is French.

The (Fm)way they c'est la (Db7)vie is French.

So (Gb)here I am Beaumont Sur Mer,

a (Gm7)big two weeks on the (C)Riviera.

(F)If I'm only dreaming, please don't (D)wake me.

'cause (Gm7)Let the summer sun and breezes take me.

(C)(F)Excuse me if I (F7)seem jejune,

I (Bb)promise I'll find my (Bdim7)marbles soon.

But (F)ev'rywhere I (Db7)look,

(F)it's like a scene from a (Gb7)book.

(F)Open the book and here I am!

(F)I mean the (Bb)face it, je suis (Bdim7)ici,

folks. (F)Excusez moi if I (Db7)spout,

I'm (F)letting my je sais quoi (Gb7)out.

I'm (F)sorry to shout, but here (Db7)I (C7)(F)am!
