          A                             D
The way I see it, he said, you just can't win it

            C                                               G
Everybody's in it for their own gain; you can't please them all

               F                    A
There's always somebody calling you down

                           D
I do my best and I do good business

                        C
There's a lot of people asking for my time

                       G
They're tryin' to get ahead

                  F                   A
They're tryin' to be a good friend of mine
[Chorus]
        F  
I was a free man in Paris

       G                  C
I felt unfettered and alive

                 Asus4             D
There was nobody callin' me up for favors

            A
And no one’s future to decide

             F  
You know I'd go back there tomorrow

            G               C
But for the work I've taken on

            Asus4        D                  A
Stoking the star-maker machinery behind the popular songs
[Interlude] | Em9 | A | Em9 | A | [Intro] | C D F | C D A | | C D F |2/4 C D |4/4 A | % | [Verse]
          A                      D
I deal in dreamers and telephone screeners

         C                                    G
Lately I wonder what I do it for; if I had my way

         F                             A
I'd just walk through those doors and wander

                  D
Down the Champs Elysees;

              C
Going café to cabaret

                    G
Thinking how I'll feel when I find

     F                   A
That very good friend of mine
[Chorus]
        F  
I was a free man in Paris

       G                  C
I felt unfettered and alive

       Asus4             D
Nobody callin' me up for favors

            A
And no one’s future to decide

             F  
You know I'd go back there tomorrow

            G               C
But for the work I've taken on

            Asus4        D                  A
Stoking the star-maker machinery behind the popular songs
