Comment: The chords have been worked out from a bass point-of-view. So 
there has been no attempt to work out majors, minors, 7th's etc. 
 
A -/12-/12-     Guitar does this bit, but bass can too. 
 
A 
Bought me a box, of French cigars, bought me a black beret 
Get my French from the girl next door, teaching me night & day 
Got me thinking `bout the south of France, vis?a?vis vous 
Pack my suitcase, take a chance, got nothing to lose 
 
A -0..-0-2-2-4-4- 
Chorus: 
{D}Gimme the sound of a {G}rolling dice 
A -------3-5.. 
E -3..-5------ 
{D}Gimme a whiskey, {G}don't think twice 
{D}Deal me the card that {G}takes my blues a{E}way 
Take me away to Mar{A}seilles 
 
Fast train, jet plane, money to burn, don't ask the reason why 
Drinkin' champagne, playin' it cool, don't even have to try 
 
Baby,
