You Never Can Tell Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C][G]

[Verse 1]
It was a [C]teenage wedding,
and the old folks wished them well
You could [C]see that Pierre did truly love
the mademoi[G]selle
And now the [G]young monsieur
and madame have rung the chapel bell
"C'est la [G]vie", say the old folks,
it goes to show you never can [C]tell

[Verse 2]
They furnished [C]off an apartment
with a two room Roebuck sale
The cooler[C]ator was crammed
with TV dinners and ginger [G]ale
But when [G]Pierre found work,
the little money comin' worked out well
"C'est la [G]vie", say the old folks,
it goes to show you never can [C]tell

[Verse 3]
They had a [C]hi-fi phono,
boy, did they let it blast
Seven [C]hundred little records,
all rock, rhythm and [G]jazz
But when the [G]sun went down,
the rapid tempo of the music fell
"C'est la [G]vie", say the old folks,
it goes to show you never can [C]tell

[Verse 4]
They bought a [C]souped-up jitney,
'twas a cherry red '53
And drove it [C]down to Orleans
to celebrate the anniversa[G]ry
It was [G]there where Pierre was married
to the lovely mademoiselle
"C'est la [G]vie", say the old folks,
it goes to show you never can [C]tell

"C'est la [G]vie", say the old folks,
it goes to show you never can [C]tell
