Les Yeux Ouverts Open Eyes

Beautiful South

Text File

Nobody seems to have chorded an accurate and simple version of this song or "Dream 
a Little Dream of Me" by the Mamas and Papas, so I did them both. Maybe this will 
help US- Franco relations!

Thanks to Petitangegris for Version 5 (the closest version of "Dream a Little 
Dream of Me"), and Professor Jacques Bereaud of Cornell University for the lyrics, 
compiled by: mulder@wow.com- merci beaucoup!
