| There's a blue shadow moving through the | Moulin Rouge |
| Bm | D | |
| And a man with a knife point | pickin his teeth |
| G | Em | |
| An off duty cop sits with his | back to the door |
| A | |

| Now Simone pulls the collar up t | ight to her throat |
| Bm | D | |
| While the riverboats knock under the | old Pont Neuf |
| G | Em | |
| A rat makes a run for his | hole in the wall |
| A | |
| She | stops by a street light and lights a straight cigarette |
| D | D/C# | |
| A Gitane on his knees starts to | howl like a dog |
| Bm | D | |
| She closes her purse and tries to | peer through the fog |
| G | Em | |
| Nothin seems wrong but | somethin ain't right |

| And there's | trouble in Paris toni | ght |
| D | D/C# | |
| Now the man cleanin his teeth well he | ain't satisfied |
| Bm | D | |
| He's hungry for somethin that he | just can't define |
| G | Em | |
| The one by the sink is now | sweeping the floor |
| A | |
| And the | cop he ran short of dreams a long time before |
| D | D/C# | |
| While under a street lamp there's tro | uble it seems |
| Bm | D | |
| First there's a struggle and | then there's a scream |
| G | Em | |
| She didn't know what hit her when he a | sked for a light |
| A | Bm | |
| And there's | trouble in Paris | tonight |
| D | D/C# | |

| A | |
| Who had hotel love with a cop on the Rue St. Denis |
| D | D/C# | |
| And a boy once abandoned by a | cop and a whore |
| Bm | D | |
| Has a knife in his hands he was a | child of the war |
| G | Em | |
| It was either Simone or | cut out the lights |
| A | Bm | |
| And there's | trouble in Paris | tonight |
| D | D/C# | |
