         C                                        F
	He went to Paris lookin' for answers to questions

              G7           C
	That bothered him so

He was impressive,young and agressive

         F                      G7
	Savin' the world on his own

         F                    C
	Warm summer breezes,French wine and cheeses

         F                  G7
	Put his ambition at bay

             C
	The summers and winters scattered like splinters

             F            G7             C
	And four or five years slipped away

Verse 2:

         C                                       F
	He went to England,played the piano,and married

            G7            C
	An actress named Kim

They had a good life,she was a good wife

             F                          G7
	And bore him a young son named Jim

         F                     C
	All of the answers and all of the questions

            F                       G7
	He locked in his attic one day

                   C
	'Cause he liked the quiet clean country livin'

              F          G7             C
	And twenty more years slipped away

Verse 3:

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

             G7        C
	With only one eye

His body was battered,his whole world was shattered

         F                        G7
	All he could do was just cry

                   F                C
	While the tears were fallin' he was recallin'

            F                   G7
	Answers that he never found

               C
	So he hopped in a freighter,skidded the ocean

             F            G7         C
	And left England without a sound

Verse 4:

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

              G7              C
	His Green label each day

Writing his memoirs,losin' his hearin'

                F                           G7
	But he don't care what most people say

               F                   C
	After eighty-six years of perpetual motion

               F                         G7
	If he likes you he'll smile and say

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

               F          G7           C
	But i had a good life all the way"

            C                                     F
	He went to Paris lookin' for answers to questions

              G7           C
	That bothered him so
