version 3
Tuning: E A D G B E
C is the original Louis Armstrong key. Note that this version has the correct chords in the "high"
part ("and when you speak..."), in contrast to version 2.
The C6 can be played as a regular C as well.
Strumming pattern: D D U D D U (with a shuffle feeling)
C Cmaj7
Hold me close and hold me fast
C6
The magic spell you cast
Dm7 G7
This is La Vie En Rose
Dm7 G7
When you kiss me heaven sighs
Dm7
And though I close my eyes
G7 C6 G7
I see La Vie En Rose
C Cmaj7
When you press me to your heart
C6
I'm in a world apart
C7 F
A world where roses bloom
Fm C
And when you speak, angels sing from above
D7 Dm7 G7
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs,
C Cmaj7
Give your heart and soul to me
Dm7 G7 C
And life will always be La Vie En Rose.
If this key should be too high for you (especially female singers) or too hard to play,
try it in G.
To get back to the original key, put a capo on the 5th fret.
G Gmaj7
Hold me close and hold me fast
G6
The magic spell you cast
Am7 D7
This is La Vie En Rose
Am7 D7
When you kiss me heaven sighs
Am7
And though I close my eyes
D7 G6 D7
I see La Vie En Rose
G Gmaj7
When you press me to your heart
G6
I'm in a world apart
G7 C
A world where roses bloom
Cm G
And when you speak, angels sing from above
A7 Am7 D7
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs,
G Gmaj7
Give your heart and soul to me
Am7 D7 G
And life will always be La Vie En Rose.

Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is "La vie en rose"
When you kiss me, heaven sighs
And though I close my eyes
I see "La vie en rose"
[Verse 2]
When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom
And when you speak, angels sing from above
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs
Give your heart and soul to me
And life will always be
