He went to Paris looking for answers [D] to questions that [A] bothered him so.
_ He was impressive, young and [D] aggressive, [Bm] saving the world on [E] his own. _ _
[D] The warm summer breezes [A] and French wines and cheeses [D]
[Bm] put his ambition [E] at bay.
_ _ _ [F#]
[A] Summers and winters scattered like [D] splinters and four or five [E]
[A] years slipped away.
_ _ _ He went to England, played the [D] piano and married an actress named [A] Kim.
_ They had a fine life, she was a good wife and bore him a [E] young son named Jim.
_ _ _ [D]
All of the answers [A] and all of the [D] questions locked in his [E] attic one day.
_ _ [A] He liked quiet, clean country [D] living and twenty more [A] years slipped away. _

Well, the war took his baby, bombs killed his lady and [D] left him with [A] only one eye.
His body was battered, his whole world was shattered [D] and all he could do [E] was just cry. _ _
_ [D] While the tears were falling, [A] he was [D] recalling answers [E] he never found.
_ _ [F#]
[A] So he hopped on a freighter, skidded the [Bm] ocean and left [E] England without [A] a sound. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now he lives in the islands, fishes the pylons [D] and drinks his green [A] label each day.
_ Writing his memoirs, losing his [D] hearing, but he don't care what [E] most people say. _ _ _
[D] Through eighty-six years of [A] perpetual motion, if he [D] likes you he'll [E] smile and he'll say,
_ _ [A] Jimmy, some of it's magic, some of it's tragic, [D] but I had [E] a good life [A] all the way.
_ _ He went to Paris, looking for [D] answers to questions [E] _ that bothered [A] him so. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
