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 Thanks to Brian Michalowski for the lyrics and for the chords.
