A long time ago, in a story so old
            F                          Fm
There was a beauty and and a beast, or so I've been told
     C                         Em
They were these two strangers, two lonely souls
         F                       Fm
But it's not what you think, no, here's how it goes

     C                            Em
Lets start with the Beast, he was ugly and scary
F                      Fm
Pathetic and poor, and horribly hairy
    C                      Em
The outside was rough, but once he smiled
          F                          Fm
You could see that he had a heart of gold inside

    C                          Em
The Beast loved a Beauty, this pretty little thing
            F                                  Fm
She was the fairest of them all, and she could dance and sing
    C                      Em
But unlike the beast whose love shined the best
    F                    Fm
She loved herself, never cared for the rest

       C           Em
Oh, La Belle et la bête (the beauty and the beast)
       F    Fm
Quelle tragédie (what a tragedy)
         C        Em
Elle est comme le jour (she is like the day)
       F        Fm
Il est comme la nuit (he is like the night)
       C    Em
Il est amoureux (he is in love)
     F             Fm
Elle ne se soucie pas (she doesn't care)
     C     Em         F
Vont-ils mourir tout seule? (Will they die alone?)
Fm   C
On verra (We'll see)

C                           Em
One day the beast found the Beauty Perfection
F                          Fm
Sitting by the lake making love to her reflection
    C                       Em
The Beast then decided that it was the time
   F                             Fm
To tell the pretty Beauty of his feelings inside

           C                          Em
He stepped out from the shades with a flower in hand
     F                     Fm
Said bravely: My lady, the fairest in this land
        C                       Em
I might not be a prince, but my heart beats for you!
       F                       Fm
Oh the Beauty just laughed, so cold, so cruel

    C                    Em
"You smelly old fat hairy pig", she said
     F                             Fm
"You thought I could love you? I'd rather be dead!"
      C                       Em
Still laughing she turned and danced to her home
F                        Fm
Leaving the Beast, heart-broken, alone

       C           Em
Oh, La Belle et la bête (the beauty and the beast)

     F         Fm
Mais elle sien fout? (but does she give a damn?)
    C     Em           F
Qui sera content aprés tout? (What will be told after all?)
Fm   C
On verra (We'll see)

          C                   Em
While the Beauty lives all by herself still today
    F                            Fm
The Beast learned his lesson and changed his ways
   C                      Em
He found that true beauty cannot be seen
         F                      Fm              C  F  Fm
And that things are most likely not what they seem
