The part with the piano accompaniment without vocals is played like the
whole verse, just without the high voice, and the middle voice 4x every
bar. (Note that now you can play some notes on the 0th or 1st fret instead
of the 4th-5th.)

Lyrics: (Here are some
English Translations)
Dansons tu dis
Et moi, je suis
Mes pas sont gauches
Mes pieds tu fauches
Je crain le sots
Je cherche les sots
Pour mґexpliquer ta vie, alors
Tu ments, ma soeur
Tu brises mon coeur
Je pense, tu sais
Erreurs, jamais
Jґecoute, tu parles
Je ne comprends pas bien
La
Belle
Dame sans Regrets
Je pleure, tu ris
Je chante, tu cries
Tu semes les grains
Dґun mauvais chene
Mon ble sґenvole
Tu en a ras le bol
Jґattends, toujour
Mes cris sont sourds
Tu ments, ma soeur
Tu brises mon coeur
Je pense, tu sais
Erreurs, jamais
Jґecoute, tu parles
Je ne comprends pas bien
La
Belle
Dame sans Regrets
Belle
Dame Sans Regrets is in the Key of
G with the
Capo on 3.
It is a very simple song with only 3 sections that repeat. Since
I am not very skilled in the
French language, I will provide you
with the sections and you can apply the lyrics accordingly:
