Chord/Tab song: Escape in the Afternoon

French Films - Escape In The Afternoon


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!

Verse:
Oh [A]take me anywhere [D]you could
Imagine and [A]faithfully I will [E]break the prison I [A]was born in

Oh [A]take me anywhere the [D]sun shines
Away the [A]harms of man[E]kind off my[A] shoulders

Was [A]lost but I want to escape in the after[D]noon
To see the youth run through my[A] hands

My old friends in my home town

Now do you see yourself tha[A]t way

The [A]better people on a map of turning [D]backs

To see the youth run through my hands
