Paris 1919 by John Cale
Paris 1919
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse]
C/C G/B F/A G11/G
She makes me so unsure of myself
C/C G/B F/A G11/G
Standing there but never ever talking sense
F/F C/E
Just a visitor you see
F/F C/E
So much wanting to be seen
F/F C/E
She'd open up the door
G11/D
and vaguely carry us a way
[Verse]
C/C G/B F/A G11/G
It's the customary thing to say or do
C/C G/B F/A G11/G
To a disappointed proud man in his grief
F/F C/E
And on Fridays she'd be there
F/F C/E
But on Mondays not at all
F/F C/E
Just casually appearing
G11/D
from the clock across the hall
[Chorus]
C/C G/B F/A G11/G
You're a ghost la la la la
C/C G/B F/A G11/G
You're a ghost la la la la
F/F C/E
I'm the church and I've come
F/F C/E
To claim you with my iron drum
Eb/Eb Eb/Eb Bb/D Bbm/Db C/C
la la la la la
[Verse]
C/C G/B F/A G11/G
The Continent's just fallen in disgrace
C/C G/B F/A G11/G
William William William Rogers put it in its place
F/F C/E
Blood and tears from old Japan
F/F C/E F/F
Caravans and lots of jam and maids of honor
C/E G11/D
singing crying singing tediously
[Chorus]
C/C G/B F/A G11/G
You're a ghost la la la la
C/C G/B F/A G11/G
Yes, you're a ghost la la la la
F/F C/E
I'm the bishop and I've come
F/F C/E
To claim you with my iron drum
Eb/Eb Eb/Eb Bb/D Bbm/Db C/C
la la la la la
[Interlude]
N.C.
[Verse]
C/C G/B F/A G11/G
Efficiency efficiency they say
C/C G/B F/A G11/G
Get to know the date and tell the time of day
F/F C/E
As the crowds begin complaining
F/F C/E
How the Beaujolais is raining
F/F C/E G11/D
Down on darkened meetings on the Champs Elysee
[Chorus]
C/C G/B F/A G11/G
You're a ghost la la la la
C/C G/B F/A G11/G
You're a ghost la la la la
F/F C/E
I'm church and I've come
F/F C/E
To claim you with my iron drum
Eb/Eb Eb/Eb Bb/D Bbm/Db C/C
la la la la la
