[Verse 1]
Bbm
Bells, they chime
            F#
Bells, they chime in time
             G#                  D#m
To a vicious low whine of a chainsaw's grind
D#m    Bbm
In the summertime
Bbm
There's a coppery taste
  F#
A gun in your face
          G#                   D#m           Bbm
Hi plains drift, sly shapes shift across the Maritime


[Chorus 1]
Bbm         D#m
In the estuary
D#m       Bbm
There's a clue to find
Bbm       F#   G#                 Bbm
In the fantasy life of poetry and crime
Bbm         F#    D#     Bbm
Haute-Normandy and Seine-Maritime
          F#   G#                 Fm
In the fantasy life of poetry and crime


[Verse 2]
Bbm
Je suis ici
        F#
Can you follow me?
          G#
Oh, sorrowful me
                      Bbm
Have I begun this too weirdly?

[Chorus 2]
Bbm        D#m      Bbm
Sweet mystery and a clue to find
       F#      G#                 Bbm
In the fantasy life of poetry and crime
Bbm      D#m
Unknowingly
D#m         Bbm
I'm lost in space and time
          F#   G#                 Fm
In the fantasy life of poetry and crime


[Verse 3]
Bbm
Je suis ici

        F#
Can you follow me?
          G#
Do you read me?
                      Bbm
Have I begun this too weirdly?


[Chorus]
Bbm         D#m
In the estuary
D#m       Bbm
There's a clue to find
Bbm       F#   G#                 Bbm
In the fantasy life of poetry and crime
Bbm         F#    D#m    Bbm
Haute-Normandy and Seine-Maritime
          F#   G#                 Fm
In the fantasy life of poetry and crime


[Outro]
Bbm
Bells, they chime
            F#
Bells, they chime in time
             G#                   D#m
To a vicious low whine of a chainsaw's grind
D#m    Bbm
In the summertime

Bbm
Bells they chime
