Waylon Jennings - He Went To Paris guitar tab

******************* 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
