Free Man in Paris Joni Mitchell
The way I [A]see it he said, you just can't [D]win it,
Everybody's [C]in it for their own gain; you can't please 'em [G]all,
There's always [F]somebody putting you dow[A]n,
I do my best and I do good [D]business,
There's a lot of people [C]asking for my time,
They're tryin' to get ahea[G]d;
they're tryin' to [F]be a good friend of [A] mine,
Chorus
I was a [F]free man in Paris,
I felt [G]unfettered and alive,
[C]There was nobody ca[Asus4]llin' me up for favours
and no-ones [A]future to decide,
You know I'd [F]go back there tomorrow
but for the [G]work I've taken on,[C]
stokin' the [Asus4]star maker mach[D]inary behind the [A]popular songs.

Verse 2:
I deal in [A]dreamers and telephone sc[D]reamers,
Lately I [C]wonder what I do it for; if I had my [G]way,
I'd just [F]walk through those doors, and wan[A]-der,
down the Champs El[D]ysees;
going cafe to [C]cabaret, thinking
how I'd feel when I find,[G]
that [F]very good friend of [A] mine
