He went to paris Jimmy Buffett
Note: The best way that I have found to play this song is to play in the key of G, and capo at the 2nd fret. Gives a better sound, and more "rolling" feel to it.

G C G
He went to Paris lookin' for answers to questions that bothered him so.
G C D Dsus4
He was impressive, young and agressive, savin' the world on his own.
C G C D Dsus4
But the warm summer breezes, the French wine and cheese put his ambition at bay
G
The summers and winters scattered like splinters
C D7 G
And four or five years slipped away.
G C G
Then he went to England, played the piano, and married an Actress named Kim.
G C D Dsus4
They had a fine life, she was a good wife and bore him a young son named Jim.
C G C D Dsus4
And all of the answers and all of the questions he locked in his attic one day
G
'Cause he liked the quiet clean county livin'
C D7 G
And twenty more years slipped away.
G C G
Well the war took his baby, the bombs killed his lady, and left him with only one eye.
G C D Dsus4
His body was battered, his whole world was shattered, all he could do was just cry.
C G C D Dsus4
While the tears were a-fallin' he was recallin' answers he never found.
G C D G
So he hopped on a freighter, skidded the ocean And left England without a sound.
G C G
Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pilin's and drinks his Green Label each day.
G C D Dsus4
Writing his memoirs, losin' his hearin', but he don't care what people say.
C G C D
Through eighty-six years of perpetual motion, if he likes you he'll smile,then he'll say
G C D G
"Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic, But I had a good life all the way."
G C D G
And he went to Paris lookin' for answers to questions that bothered him so.
