Verse 1
F
C
G
C
A small town in Georgia
G
C
was my childhood home
F
C
For its three rivers and seven hills
G
C
and my mother made all my clothes
F
C
And I would've done anything
G
C
to get the hell out of Rome
F
C
And I said, take me away,
F
C
I can't stand another day
Of this old mill town,
F
C
Said there's gotta be more than this
F
C
And if I had me one wish
G
C
G
C
I'd go all the way from Rome to Paris
I married a soldier the day I
G
C
turned sixteen years old
F
C
He was shipping off to another world,
G
C
though I thought I was grown
F
C
And I spent all autumn picking cotton
G
C
to buy my true soul
F
C
And I said take me away,
F
C
I can't stand another day
G
Of this red quicksand they call Georgia play
F
C
I said there's gotta be more than this
F
C
And I blew my mother a kiss
And I went all the way
G
C
G
C
F
C
G
C
from Rome to Paris
G
C
It was harder than I could have known
F
C
His tender touch turned a fist of rage
G
C
And his tainted blood ran cold
And that golden gown I toiled for
G
C
Seemed like the dirty joke
F
C
I'd come all the way across the ocean
G
C
And never got out of Rome
F
C
So I said take me away,
F
C
I can't stand another day
G
Of his drinking, carrying on and acting crazy
F
C
It must be something I missed,
F
C
I didn't bargain for this
When I went all the way
G
C
from Rome to Paris
F
C
But one day, one day,
F
C
I'm gonna get away
G
C
And I'll take myself from Rome to Paris
G
G
C
I'll go all the way from Rome to Paris you
