             G              C
Well, it's a rainy night in Paris,

        Am                D 
and I'm sitting by the Seine,

        G              C      G/B    Am        D
It's a pleasure to be soaking in the European rain,

       Em              Bm/D           C
Now my belly's full of fancy food and wine.

              G/B                 C
Oh but in the morning there'll be hell to pay

Dsus4                 G
somewhere along the line.

                           C
In the morning there'll be hell to pay

D7sus4                 G  D  F  C  D7sus4  G
somewhere along the line.
[Verse]
G              C         Am               D
Sweet Virginia cigarette burnin' in my hand.

         G            C         G/B      Am           D
Well you used to be a friend of mine but now I understand,

            Em          Bm/D             C
You've been eating up inside me for some time.

         G/B               C
Oh and I know you're gonna get me

Dsus4                 G
somewhere along the line.

                         C
Well I know you're gonna get me

D7sus4                G  D  F  C
somewhere along the line
[Bridge]
D                         Ebdim
Somewhere along the line,

       Em                           C
Well I know it's just a matter of time.

         G/B                       C
Well the fun falls through and the rent comes due

Am7                       F
somewhere along the line.

   Dsus4  D7
Oh
[Verse]
          G              C
Well you know I love my woman,

       Am                  D
And I would not let her down,

       G              C      G/B    Am            D
And I did my share of lovin' when I used to get around.

        Em
Now I'm satisfied,

    Bm/D           C
And she is lookin' fine,

           G            C
Oh but you pay for satisfaction

Dsus4                  G
somewhere along the line,

                          C
But you pay for your satisfaction

D7sus4                 G 
somewhere along the line

         G             C
Hey it's good to be a young man,

       Am                  D
And to live the way you please,

      G                C       G/B   Am               D
Yes a young man is the king of ev'ry kingdom that he sees.

               Em             Bm/D          C
But there's an old and feeble man not far behind,

        G                 C
Oh that surely will catch up to him

Dsus4                  G
somewhere along the line,

                          C
Well it surely will catch up to him

D7sus4                 G
somewhere along the line
[Outro]
         G                  C         D7sus4              G
Well you know it will catch up to him somewhere along the line

     G             C       D7sus4   G
Whoa whoa,   whoa, oh
