Verse 1
A 
G 
D 
Em 
G 
He stumbles
D 
down the flagstones,
Em 
G 
his clothes don't fit right
D 
Neon keeps him company
Em 
G 
in the Paris winter's night
A 
He sweeps the snow
G 
from his doorstep,
D 
G 
lets the door swing wide
D 
There's an aching in his belly
Em 
G 
D 
and a passion in his eyes
Em 
Climbs the stairs to his studio,
G 
lights the furnace for heat
D 
Stares at the canvas before him,
Em 
G 
and that vision in paint incomplete
A 
The brush leads him into
G 
the twilight of night,
D 
G 
but he's suspended in time
D 
Em 
Lost in the canvas for hours,
G 
D 
not for more than his own peace of mind
Bm 
G 
And they sang at the top of their voices,
Bm 
G 
they talked of the world and its art.
A 
G 
They drank absinthe in the shadows,
Em 
G 
and cheap red wine in the light.
Bm 
They're the spark that burns
G 
in all the gaslights,
D 
G 
they're cerulean blue on the sky.
Em 
G 
And their spirits dance in the alleys
On the streets of Montmartre
D 
Em 
G 
tonight
D 
Society scorns for the difference
Am 
Em 
Contends what they don't understand
G 
D 
Revolution needs not
a gun or a headline
Em 
G 
Just a brush in the hand of a man
A 
G 
Lutrec, Degas, and Cézanne,
D 
G 
Pissarro, Manet, and Renoir,
D 
Poets, painters,
Em 
and dancers,
G 
D 
Hedy Nights, Patrice Chanois.
A 
G 
Does the want show on the canvas?

Does the rejection color the view?

D 
G 
They're civilian blue on the sky
Em 
G 
And their spirits dance in the alleys
On the streets of Montmartre tonight
D 
Bm 
G 
They sang at the top of their voices
Bm 
G 
They talked of the world and its heart
Em 
Lasting impression,
G 
artistic progression
For the streets of Montmartre
D

D 
tonight
Em 
Establishment's thorn in truth
G 
Passion is born
D 
In the streets of Montmartre tonight
Em 
G 
The spirits dance in the alleys
In the streets of Montmartre tonight
