[Verse 1]
A D A
He went to Paris, lookin' for answers, to questions that bothered him so.
A D E7
He was impressive, young and agressive, savin' the world on his own.
D A D
But the warm summer breezes, the French wine and cheeses, put his ambition at
E7
bay.
A
The summers and winters, scattered like splinters,
D E7 A
And four or five years slipped away.
[Verse 2]
A D A
Then he went to England, played the piano, and married an actress named Kim.
A D E7
They had a fine life, she was a good wife, and bore him a young son named Jim.
D A D E7
And all of the answers, and all of the questions, 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
Well the war took his baby, the bombs killed his lady,
D A
And left him with only one eye.
A
His body was battered, his whole world was shattered,
D E7
And all he could do was just cry.
D A D E7
While the tears were a-fallin', he was recallin', answers he never found.
A
So he hopped on a freighter, skidded the ocean,
D E7 A
And left England without a sound.
[Verse 4]
A
Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilin's,
D A
And drinks his Green Label each day.
A
Writin' his memoirs, losin' his hearin',
D E7
But he don't care what most people say.
D A
Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion,
D E7
If he likes you, he'll smile then he'll say,
A
"Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic,
D E7 A
But I had a good life all the way."
A D E7 A
And he went to Paris lookin' for answers to questions that bothered him so.
