This is a basic tab for the song. I'm not too good at tabbing them out, so 
just play with it til you get the feel

      From his driftwood castle                  Comes a song I've heard 
before

So the dream begins, and the song is amplified
By the Beaujolais on Bastille Day
He dances in the tide

Well it takes him back to the days of love and war
And the girl he knew, with eyes so blue
Waiting on the shore

If he'd only known how the days would fly on by
Such a simple crime, he's run out of time
So he reaches for the sky

Chorus

    Blame it on the Champs Elysees       Blame it on a tune

He sees the stars above as the floor to heaven's light
And the angels taunt "C'est une nuit blanche"
He's a Frenchman for the night
