Nobody seems to have chorded an accurate and simple version of this song or "Dream a Little Dream of Me" by the Mamas and Papas so I did them both. Maybe this will help US- Franco relations! Thanks to Petitangegris for Version 5 (the closest version of "Dream a Little Dream of Me") and Professor Jacques Bereaud of Cornell University for the lyrics compiled by: merci beaucoup!
