******************* HE WENT TO PARIS ********************

performed by Waylon Jennings.

Verse 1:

         A                                        D

He went to Paris lookin' for answers to questions

              E7           A

That bothered him so

            

He was impressive,young and agressive

         D                      E7

Savin' the world on his own

         D                    A  

Warm summer breezes,French wine and cheeses

         D                  E7  

Put his ambition at bay

             A                        

The summers and winters scattered like splinters

             D            E7             A  

And four or five years slipped away

Verse 2:

         A                                       D

He went to England,played the piano,and married

            E7            A

An actress named Kim

They had a good life,she was a good wife

             D                          E7  

And bore him a young son named Jim

         D                     A    

All of the answers and all of the questions

            D                       E7

He locked in his attic one day

                   A  

'Cause he liked the quiet clean country livin'

              D          E7             A

And twenty more years slipped away

Verse 3:

         A                                           D  

War took his baby,Bombs killed his lady and left him

             E7        A

With only one eye

His body was battered,his whole world was shattered

         D                        E7      

All he could do was just cry

                   D                A

While the tears were fallin' he was recallin'

            D                   E7  

Answers that he never found

               A

So he hopped in a freighter,skidded the ocean

             D            E7         A    

And left England without a sound

Verse 4:

         A                                                  D

Now he lives in the islands,fishes the pilin' and drinks

              E7              A

His Green label each day

Writing his memoirs,losin' his hearin'

                D                           E7

But he don't care what most people say

               D                   A

After eighty-six years of perpetual motion

               D                         E7

If he likes you he'll smile and say

                A                  

"Jimmy,some of it's magic,probably tragic,

               D          E7           A  

But i had a good life all the way"

            A                                     D  

He went to Paris lookin' for answers to questions

              E7           A  

That bothered him so
