Intro 1
(A major) (A major) (A major) (A major)
Verse 1
(A major) He went to Paris, looking for answers
To (D major) questions that bothered him (A major) so
He was impressive, young and aggressive
(D major) Savin' the world on his (E major) own
But the (D major) warm summer breezes
The (A major) French wines and cheeses
(D major) Put his ambition at (E major) bay
His (A major) summers and winters
Scattered like splinters
And four (D major) to five years (E major) slipped a (A major) way

Verse 2
Then (A major) he went to England
Played the piano
And (D major) married an actress named (A major) Kim
They had a fine life, she was a good wife
And (D major) bore him a young son named (E major) Jim
And (D major) all of the answers, and (A major) all of the questions
(D major) He locked in his attic one (E major) day
'Cause (A major) he liked the quiet, clean country livin'
And (D major) twenty more years (E major) slipped a (A major) way
Interlude 1
(F sharp minor) (A major) (F sharp minor) (B major)
(D major) (E major) (A major)
Verse 3
Well, the (A major) war took his baby
Bombs killed his lady
And left (D major) him with only one (A major) eye
His body was battered
His whole world was shattered
And all (D major) he could do was just (E major) cry
While the (D major) tears were falling, (A major) he was recalling
(D major) Answers he'd never (E major) found
So he (A major) hopped on a freighter,
skidded the ocean
And left (D major) England (E major) without a (A major) sound
(A major) (A major)
Verse 4
Now he (A major) lives in the islands, fishes the pilings
And (D major) drinks his green label each (A major) day
Writing his memoirs, losin' his hearin'
But he (D major) don't care what most people (E major) say
Through (D major) eighty-six years of per (A major) petual motion
If he (D major) likes you he'll smile and he'll (E major) say:
"Jimmy, (A major) some of it's magic, some of it's tragic
But I (D major) had a good life (E major) all the (A major) way."
Outro 1
And (A major) he went to Paris, lookin' for answers
To (D major) questions (E major) that bothered him (A major) so
He Went To Paris
