Chord Gitar dan Lirik Lagu Escape in the Afternoon Oleh French Films

Brilliant song by young fins French Films from their debut album “Imaginary Future”.
Very easy to play and nice to sing along on a cosy sunny afternoon while the sun
is sinking 😉 Perfect record for spring and summertime!
Have fun!

Intro:

synth is playing A, guitar kicks in (about 0:17) with A as well

Verse:
Oh take me anywhere you could
Imagine and faithfully I will break the prison I was born in

Oh take me anywhere the sun shines
Away the harms of mankind off my shoulders

Refrain:

‘Cause anything that we were meant to be
Was lost but I want to escape in the afternoon
To see the youth run through my hands

1st bridge:

Sometimes I miss
E A E (listen carefully to get the pattern)
My old friends in my home town

( Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/french_films/escape_in_the_afternoon_crd.html )
Verse:
But don’t take me anywhere it makes me
To dream about a life without a past with you

Refrain:
‘Cause anything that we were meant to be
Was lost but I want to escape in the afternoon
To see the youth run through my hands

And anything that we were said to be
Was ruled in the juvenile grey industry mind
Now do you see yourself that way

2nd Bridge + Solo

D A D A (2x, 2nd guitar plays the solo)

Huhuuhuhu Huhuuhuhu Huhuuhuhu Huhuuhu

Refrain:
When everything they wanted to be
The better people on a map of turning backs
Oh I’d just like to try to breathe

‘Cause anything that we were meant to be
Was lost and I want to escape in the afternoon
To see the youth run through my hands

To see the youth run through my hands
D A end with continuing slapping A
To see the youth run through my hands
