******************* HE WENT TO PARIS ********************
performed by Waylon Jennings.
Verse 1:
He went Ato Paris lookin' for answers to questionsD
That botheredE7 him so A
He was impressive,young and agressive
Savin' tDhe world on his own E7
Warm sumDmer breezes,French wiAne and cheeses
Put his Dambition at bay E7
The summers Aand winters scattered like splinters
And four or Dfive years slE7ipped away A
Verse 2:
He went Ato England,played the piano,and married D
An actress E7named Kim A
They had a good life,she was a good wife
And bore himD a young son named Jim E7
All of tDhe answers and all of Athe questions
He locked iDn his attic one day E7
'Cause he liked thAe quiet clean country livin'
And twenty moDre years slE7ipped away A
Verse 3:
War tookA his baby,Bombs killed his lady and left himD
With only onE7e eye A
His body was battered,his whole world was shattered
All he cDould do was just cry E7
While the tears weDre fallin' he wasA recallin'
Answers thaDt he never found E7
So he hopped iAn a freighter,skidded the ocean
And left EngDland without E7a sound A
Verse 4:
Now he lAives in the islands,fishes the pilin' and drinks D
His Green labE7el each day A
Writing his memoirs,losin' his hearin'
But he don't caDre what most people say E7
After eighty-sDix years of perpetuaAl motion
If he likes yoDu he'll smile and say E7
"Jimmy,somAe of it's magic,probably tragic,
But i had a goDod life allE7 the way"A;
He went to AParis lookin' for answers to questionsD
That botheredE7 him so A
