This is kind of a lounge-act song with a fairly slow tempo
(about 150 beats per minute).  I play all the chords as bar chords
so I can mute the strings and get the rhythmic stacatto sound.
 Just so ya know, this is a CM7/C chord (and I'm fairly certain
 it's called CM7/C):

        If you see me in the pouring rain,

     GM                     CM7/C
        No I'm never coming back again

            FM        EM       AM
        For you, my beloved Chanel

     AM                    dm7
        Walk along my dear hand in hand,

     GM                     C
        No not a tear not a grain of sand

            FM        EM       AM
        For you, my beloved Chanel

        Dancin on the moonlit sky, glancin in each others' eye

        CM
        Oh, my heart does swell.

          DM
        Believe me when I say to you

            GM
        You really ring my bell.

Walking in the park the other day

My heart skipped as I heard him say

For you, my beloved Chanel.

Crying screaming ranting raving mad.

If you were dead, boy would I be glad

For you, my beloved Chanel.

        Dancin on the moonlit sky, glancin in each others' eye

        Oh, my heart does swell.

        Belive me when I say to you

        Go right to hell.

Solo: (rhythm guitar plays verse part)

      --> By the by, if you happen to notice, this transcript-

        ion is far from perfect. I did the best I could, but

        sadly, I can't compete with Jason Bieler.  The solo is

	  based on an A blues scale if that helps any.

Dancin on the moonlit sky, glancin in each others' eye

Oh, my heart does swell.

Believe me when I say to you

You really ring my bell.

Laughin as your grave is built,

Not an ounce of shame or guilt

For you, my beloved Chanel.

I never cried, I never could.

All the blame will do no good

For you, my beloved Chanel.

For you, my beloved Chanel.

For you, my beloved Chanel.
