Le Soir

Does anyone happen to know anything about this tune. I've heard Tchavolo do it, and just working it out from this live version

Does it have lyrics? Who wrote it?

Beautiful song. Any help appreciated...

Oh, it's a Django tune. I guess no lyrics then. Oh well... Beautiful tune.

It was written by one Loulou Gaste & it does have lyrics which you'll find here: http://www.dalida.com/achanson/duo/lesoir.htm

And here's what it sounds like with lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jhvTg1JgPY

See attached for chords & dots.

That's wonderful! Thanks so much.

Here are the chords I was playing from the Tchavolo version (they differ a bit from the chart)

(transposed into C from G)

C | F#m7 B7 | Bb | A7
Dm7 D#dim | Em7 Am7 | D7 | Dm7 G7 (Db7) |
C | F#m7 B7 | Bb | A7
Dm7 D#dim | Em7 Am7 | Dm7 G7 | C

I prefer the Dm7 D#dim to the F, F#dim on the chart. Also the chromatic rundown in the first four bars is nice.

Anyway, thanks again so much - I'm very happy there are lyrics.

Thanks for the YouTube vid with lyrics. Love the Gypsyesque solo with the gold top Les Paul. Looks like it might even have a Bigsby on it! AE
