Great Big Sea - French Perfume Chords

[Intro]
Dm   |F  C  |(x8)
 
[Verse 1]
     Dm
It's of a bold young smuggler
     F              C
From Fortune he did sail
   C
He rode the waves from St. Pierre
    Dm
And never saw the jail
 
   Dm
He filled her up with contraband
F                    C
Perfume, smokes and rum
   C
He hoped the fog was thick enough
   Dm
To make another run
 
 
[Chorus]
        F
You can still see the sight
     Bb       F
On a winter's night
       Bb          F            Dm
Of his wake in the light of the moon
       C
If the wind turns right
       Dm
If you don't take fright
        F          C         Dm
You can smell that French perfume
 
 
[Verse 2]
        Dm
But the Mountie boat was waiting
      F                    C
As he crawled near Mortier Bay
    C
And when they hit the spotlight
       Dm
It was like the light of day
 
   Dm
He didn't bring her head round
          F                 C
When they told him to heave to
C
He opened up the engines
       Dm
And he ran for Spanish Room
 
 
[Chorus]
        F
You can still see the sight
     Bb       F
On a winter's night
       Bb          F            Dm
Of his wake in the light of the moon
       C
If the wind turns right
       Dm
If you don't take fright
        F          C         Dm
You can smell that French perfume
 
 
[Verse 3]
     Dm
They said they heard him laughing
         F                C
With the Mounties closing in
    C
His engines screaming murder
        Dm
And his face set in a grin
 
    Dm
The seagulls started lifting
        F             C
Like an angry banshee choir
   C
He hit the rocks at 50 clicks
        Dm
And the sky lit up with fire
 
 
[Interlude]
Dm   |F  C  |(x8)
 
[Verse 3]
     Dm
It's of a bold young smuggler
     F              C
From Fortune he did sail
   C
He rode the waves from St. Pierre
       Dm
And he never saw the jail
 
    Dm
And when it's cold and foggy
       F                  C
On the rocks near Spanish Room
     C
They say you hear him laughing
        Dm
And you smell that French perfume
 
 
[Chorus]
        F
You can still see the sight
     Bb       F
On a winter's night
       Bb          F            Dm
Of his wake in the light of the moon
       C
If the wind turns right
       Dm
If you don't take fright
        F          C         Dm
You can smell that French perfume
 
        F
You can still see the sight
     Bb       F
On a winter's night
       Bb          F            Dm
Of his wake in the light of the moon
       C
If the wind turns right
       Dm
If you don't take fright
        F          C         Dm
You can smell that French perfume
        F          C         Dm
You can smell that French perfume
