         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
