La Vie En Rose by Louis Armstrong - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Louis Armstrong Song List

Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5

            C is the original Louis Armstrong key. Note that this version has the correct chords in the "high" 
part ("and when you speak..."), in contrast to version 2.

The C6 can be played as a regular C as well.
Strumming pattern: D D U D D U (with a shuffle feeling)


C                         Cmaj7
Hold me close and hold me fast
                     C6
The magic spell you cast
                   Dm7   G7
This is La Vie En Rose

Dm7                     G7
When you kiss me heaven sighs
                      Dm7
And though I close my eyes
  G7            C6   G7
I see La Vie En Rose

C                         Cmaj7
When you press me to your heart
                C6
I'm in a world apart
  C7                F
A world where roses bloom
 
Fm                          C
And when you speak, angels sing from above
D7                      Dm7      G7
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs,

C                          Cmaj7
Give your heart and soul to me
                     Dm7   G7           C
And life will always be       La Vie En Rose.

If this key should be too high for you (especially female singers) or too hard to play, 
try it in G. 
To get back to the original key, put a capo on the 5th fret.

G                         Gmaj7
Hold me close and hold me fast
                    G6
The magic spell you cast
                   Am7   D7
This is La Vie En Rose

Am7                     D7
When you kiss me heaven sighs
                       Am7
And though I close my eyes
  D7            G6   D7
I see La Vie En Rose

G                         Gmaj7
When you press me to your heart
                G6
I'm in a world apart
  G7                C
A world where roses bloom
 
Cm                          G
And when you speak, angels sing from above
A7                      Am7      D7
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs,

G                          Gmaj7
Give your heart and soul to me
                     Am7   D7           G
And life will always be       La Vie En Rose.
