_ [F] The first time I saw Paris, it [Bb] was Christmas [F] 69. _ _
[Bb] It was cold and I [F] was empty, [Bb] I was running out [F] of time. _
It [C] was raining [Bb] on the boulevard [F] when I took the lady's [Bb] hand. _
_ [F] I said I miss [Bb] you [C] dearly and [Bb] she seemed to _ [F] understand.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] And the road it took me to you, _ [Bb] took me by [F] surprise.
_ _ [Bb] It took me through [F] the Netherlands, [Bb] through sunset and [F] sunrise.
_ Still [C] my journey [Bb] down was easy, _ [F] just a few hours on [Bb] the train.
_ [F] It was easier [Bb] than leaving you, _ hadn't half [C] the pain.
_ _ _ I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
could [E] never [F] refuse [C] her loving and [Dm] _ _ [Bb] _ [F] open mind. _
[Bb] _ Hers was something [F] more than love, [Gm] she's with me all [C] the time.
[Dm] In the evening after [C] supper, _ [Bb] after cheese and [F] after wine. _
[Bb] After turning down [F] the _ bedclothes [C] I was hers, [F] _ [Bb] she _ [F] was _ mine.
_ [Bb] _ _
_ [F] Through _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [F] a long and lonely autumn, _ [Bb] through a thousand miles [F] or more. _
[Bb] Through fifty different [F] cities _ [Bb] and a hundred different [F] doors. _
Through [C] searching [Bb] all the faces _ [F] and trying [Bb] every form. _
[F] Through many [Bb] weirdly [C] drunken [Bb] nights I finally [F] came home.
And [Bb] _ _ though [F] I don't speak her language _ [Bb] and she's no [F] good at mine.
_ [Bb] She somehow [F] knew I needed her _ [Bb] for just a little [F] time.
_ So I [C] took my [Bb] boots off slowly [F] and I let my [Bb] soul be fed.
_ [F] I drank her _ [Bb] [C] sweetened coffee [Bb] and laid down on [C] her _ bed. _ _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Bbm]
I [E] could never [F] refuse [C] her loving, [Bb] coming from an [F] open mind. _
[Bb] Hers was something [F] more than love, [Gm] she's with me [C] all the time.
[Dm] In the evening after [C] supper, _ [F]
[Bb] after cheese and [F] after wine. _
[Bb] After turning down [F] the _ bedclothes I was [C] hers, [Fm] _ [Bb] she _ [F] was _ mine.

_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [F] And we walked the old city [Bb] to the church of [F] Notre Dame.
_ And [Bb] we listened to [F] the music _ and [Bb] the holy [F] hymns they sang.
And [C] Sunday came [Bb] and took us [F] to the square by [Bb] Montmartre.
_ _ _ [F] _
[C] Where painters _ posed like [Bb] peacocks and money rolled [F] their way. _ _
[Bb] _ _ [F] And she knew I was leaving _ long [Bb] before I [F] came to stay.
She [Bb] said I'll [F] see you soon again, [Bb] she knew there was [F] no way.
_ She said [C] maybe [F] you've been [Bb] moving _ [Eb] in circles [Bb] all the time.
_ [F] Not really [Bb] getting anywhere, not knowing what [C] you'll _ _ find. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bbm] I [Dm] could never [F] refuse [C] her loving, _ [Bb] _ _
coming [F] from an open mind.
