HE WENT TO PARIS

Doug Supernaw

From the CD "DEEP THOUGHTS FROM A SHALLOW MIND"

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
