He Went To Paris(Chords)

	        Intro 
              
(A) He went to Paris lookin' for answers 
To (D) questions that bothered him (A) so 
He was impressive, young and aggressive 
(D) Savin' the world on his (E7) own 
But the (D) warm summer breezes 
The (A) French wines and cheeses 
(D) Put his ambition at (E7) bay 
The (A) summers and winters 
Scattered like splinters                
And (D) four or five (E) years slipped a(A)way 
  
Then (A) he went to England, played the piano 
And (D) married an actress named (A) Kim 
They had a fine life, she was a good wife 
And (D) bore him a young son named (E7) Jim 
And (D) all of the answers  
To (A) all of the questions 
(D) Locked in his attic one (E7) day 
'Cause (A) he liked the quiet clean country livin' 
And (D) twenty more (E) years slipped a(A)way 
  
Well the (A) war took his baby, the bombs killed his lady 
And (D) left him with only one (A) eye 
His body was battered, his whole world was shattered 
And (D) all he could do was just (E7) cry 
While the (D) tears were a-fallin' (A) he was recallin' 
(D) Answers he never (E7) found 
So he (A) hopped on a freighter, skidded the ocean 
And (D) left England (E7) without a (A) sound 
  
Solo 
 
Now he (A) lives in the islands, fishes the pilin's  
And (D) drinks his Green Label each (A) day 
Writing his memoirs, losin' his hearin' 
But he (D) don't care what most people (E7) say 
Through (D) eighty-six years of (A) perpetual motion 
If he (D) likes you he'll smile and he'll (E7) say  
'Jimmy, (A) some of it's magic, some of it's tragic 
But I (D) had a good (E) life all the (A) way' 
 
(A) He went to Paris lookin' for answers 
To (D) questions that bothered him (A) so
