A new Bohemia (2024) (video)

C - Dm - C - Dm

C Dm

1. Like silent movie stars in 60's Hollywood,

C Dm

no one knows who you are in the hipster neighbourhood.

Em Am

Your only friend is a memory of a dream

F G

walking down the Strip looking for the latest scene.

C G Am

Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons ?

Dm - C G

Who dances now to their sweet old song ?

C G Am

I wish I lived my life free and easier,

F - C D

I need to find a new Bohemia !

C Dm

2. Hot on the heels of the absolute last chance,

C Dm

I watched them trying out something new from France.

Em - Am

Kamikaze eyes locked in a trance,

F G

improvising a wild hypnotic dance.

+ CHORUS

D# - C7

+ Every day is a warning evening might forget,

Dm G

then the following morning has the sweet smell of regret.

Bb Am

I'm always in love, I'm easily led,

G

my life is a mess, like an unmade bed.

C G Am

Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons ?

Dm - C G

Who dances now to their sweet old song ?

C G Am

I wish I lived my life free and easier,

F - C G

I need to find a new Bohemia !

C - G Am

Where are they now ? Where have they gone ?

Dm - C G

Who dances now to their song ?

C G Am

I wish I lived my life free and easier,

F - G D - E

I'm on my way to a new Bohemia.

+ C - Dm - C - Dm (2x) - C
