                         She - Charles Aznavour
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written by: Charles Aznavour/Herbert Kretzmer
Released in 1974

Tabbed by: maguri
Tuning: Standard

A transcription of the studio version (link below). I came across a live 
version recently that has a different chord in the first verse: the F over 
the word "things" is a D/F# there. Sounds beautiful, too.

There is another ambiguous part in the Middle 8, because the orchestra
leads from the C chord to the D (line 5 of the Middle 8). This melody 
includes a short "Ab" turning the C chord into an augmented chord. I included 
this very subtle change in square brackets as an option.

[Intro]
| C C/E | Fadd9 F Gsus4 G |

[Verse 1]
C                           Ebdim7
She may be the face I can't forget 
                         F
A trace of pleasure or regret 
                          C               A/C#
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay 
Dm                              Abdim7
She may be the song that summer sings 
                             C/G
May be the chill that autumn brings 
                           F
May be a hundred different things 
           G             | C F Gsus4 G |
Within the measure of the day. 

[Verse 2]
C                            Ebdim7
She may be the beauty or the beast 
                         F
May be the famine or the feast 
                           C       A/C#
May turn each day into heaven or a hell 
Dm                          Abdim7
She may be the mirror of my dreams 
                       C/G
A smile reflected in a stream 
                            D/F#
She may not be what she may seem 
  G      C
Inside a shell 

[Middle 8]
Ab                                 Eb
She who always seems so happy in a crowd 
                                    Db
Whose eyes can be so private and so proud 
                            C
No one's allowed to see them when they cry 
Fm             Bb                        Eb
She may be the love that cannot hope to last 
            C     [ Caug    C ]    D
May come to me from shadows of the past 
         D7                    G/B
That I remember till the day I die 

[Verse 3]
C                          Ebdim7
She may be the reason I survive 
                           F
The why and wherefore I'm alive 
                                  C               A/C#
The one I'll care for through the rough and rainy years 
Dm                                Abdim7
Me I'll take her laughter and her tears 
                          C/G
And make them all my souvenirs 
                            D/F#
For where she goes I got to be 
            G
The meaning of my life is ...

[Coda]
F      C/E    Dm7      C
  She, she,       mmh, she
