He Went To Paris by Waylon Jennings
He Went To Paris
Verse 1:
A D
He went to Paris lookin' for answers to questions
E7 A
That bothered him so
He was impressive,young and agressive
D E7
Savin' the world on his own
D A
Warm summer breezes,French wine and cheeses
D E7
Put his ambition at bay
A
The summers and winters scattered like splinters
D E7 A
And four or five years slipped away
Verse 2:
A D
He went to England,played the piano,and married
E7 A
An actress named Kim
They had a good life,she was a good wife
D E7
And bore him a young son named Jim
D A
All of the answers and all of the questions
D E7
He locked in his attic one day
A
'Cause he liked the quiet clean country livin'
D E7 A
And twenty more years slipped away
Verse 3:
A D
War took his baby,Bombs killed his lady and left him
E7 A
With only one eye
His body was battered,his whole world was shattered
D E7
All he could do was just cry
D A
While the tears were fallin' he was recallin'
D E7
Answers that he never found
A
So he hopped in a freighter,skidded the ocean
D E7 A
And left England without a sound
Verse 4:
A D
Now he lives in the islands,fishes the pilin' and drinks
E7 A
His Green label each day
Writing his memoirs,losin' his hearin'
D E7
But he don't care what most people say
D A
After eighty-six years of perpetual motion
D E7
If he likes you he'll smile and say
A
"Jimmy,some of it's magic,probably tragic,
D E7 A
But i had a good life all the way"
A D
He went to Paris lookin' for answers to questions
E7 A
That bothered him so
