Capo: 2 Tuning: E A D G B E

[Intro] G D C G C D x2 [Verse]

I can ^Gstill hear him playing, April in Paris ^DDexter's blowing his horn It's a ^Cused up tune for a ^Gfaded moon He ^Cplays for the memory of something that's ^Dgone

[Verse]

^GPlays like a lover, who's holding a dream When he ^Dknows that the dream won't last He's ^Cgoing down slow, but he's ^Gscared to let go ^CDeep down he knows, the dreaming has ^Dpassed

[Instrumental] G D C G C D x2 [Verse]

^GOne hit of cocaine, one hit of horse He'll ^Dtake what's on offer today It's a ^Closer's refrain ^Gcome back again That ^Cthin line of snow to blow you a^Dway

[Verse]

He says^G "Buy me a vin rouge, buy me a beer As he ^Dsits in The Blue Note Café He's ^Cending his days in a ^Gpurple haze As ^Cpink and blue neon drag night into ^Dday

[Chorus]

And the ^Cdancers have ^Dleft the ^Emfloor And the ^Clast of the late night ^Ddrinkers are out of the ^Emdoor The old man'^Cs hung up his horn He's playing no ^Dmore

[Instrumental] G D C G C D x2 [Verse]

It's ^Gnot for the money, it's not for the fame It's for ^Dsomething that sings through it all When the ^Cmusic rings true, your ^Gsoul comes through And ^Cthat's what you do, 'til you hear the last ^Dchord

[Verse]

They ^Gsay we go out the way we came in It's how we ^Dplayed it that marks out the man If we can ^Cleave a trace of ^Gbeauty and grace Then it ^Cwasn't for nothing, just part of the ^Dplan

[Chorus]

And the ^Cdancers have ^Dleft the ^Emfloor And the ^Clast of the late night ^Ddrinkers are out of the ^Emdoor The old man'^Cs hung up his horn He's playing no ^Dmore

[Outro] G D C G C D x2
