Verse 1
A
He went to Paris, looking for answers
D
A
To questions that bothered him so
He was impressive, young and aggressive
D
E
Savin' the world on his own
D
But the warm summer breezes
A
The French wines and cheeses
D
E
Put his ambition at bay
A
His summers and winters
Scattered like splinters
D
E
A
And four to five years slipped a way
Verse 2
A
Then he went to England
Played the piano
D
A
And married an actress named Kim
They had a fine life, she was a good wife
D
E
And bore him a young son named Jim
D
A
And all of the answers, and all of the questions
D
E
He locked in his attic one day
A
'Cause he liked the quiet, clean country livin'
D
E
A
And twenty more years slipped a way

Verse 3
A
Well, the war took his baby
Bombs killed his lady
D
A
And left him with only one eye
His body was battered
His whole world was shattered
D
E
And all he could do was just cry
D
A
While the tears were falling, he was recalling
D
E
Answers he'd never found
A
So he hopped on a freighter,
skidded the ocean
D
E
A
And left Eng land without a sound
A
A
Verse 4
A
Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilings
D
A
And drinks his green label each day
Writing his memoirs, losin' his hearin'
D
E
But he don't care what most people say
D
A
Through eighty-six years of per petual motion
D
E
If he likes you he'll smile and he'll say:
A
"Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic
D
E
A
But I had a good life all the way."
