This is probably the most beautiful lullabye I have every heard.  I don't
remember what album it's on--it belonged to a long-gone roommate--but it's
not hard to find, even in America.  If you really want to know what album
it's on, email me and I can find out, no problem.

This song is fingerpicked, but uses totally conventional chords, so I won't
bother tabbing it.  A list of the chords are at the end.  It's in 4/4, but
each I've indicated represents one half of a meause, or two beats.

Have fun!

D'abord les heures, les jours, les semaines, et puis les ann^?es d'amour
Les ann^?es d'amour
