I'd like to call up a very, very talented [Bb] musician, composer,
[Bm] _ [C] writes operas, [Bb] conducts the New York Philharmonic,
[N] the Montreal Philharmonic from time to time.
And he's a, well, I see him in Kerrville, I see him in New York,
and we did an [Fm] Indian _ [C] benefit for the Indians, _ _ _
_ [Em] Navajos and Mahatmas [C] together.
_ I'd like you to give a very warm welcome [N] to Mr.
David Amram. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] This is a song about [Bb]
a [C] murderer in Paris. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ Turn it [E] up.
_ [Db] _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Can you hear me now?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ [C] _ Well, try [Bb] to read my lips if you can.
I'll [C] beat. _ _ _ _ _ _
It's [G] called Trouble in Paris [Bb] tonight.
_ _ [D]
There's [C] a blue shadow moving through [G] the Moulin Rouge
[B] And a man [Am] with a knife, [Em] point picking [A] his [F] teeth
_ Off duty, cop sits with his back to the door
[G] _ Somebody [Cm] just took a piss in the [Gm] sink
[C] Cop's drinking, panel thinks he's [G] drinking [C] _ [E] absinthe
[Em] With a [F] girl who loved him [G] on the roost [Am] and the knee
[F] _ _ Somebody's slinking, [Dm] smoking under a light
[G] And there's trouble [Cm] in [Dm] Paris [Am] too _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ Simone pulls the collar up tight to her throat
[Am] While the riverboats knock under the old pond
A [F] rat makes a run [Dm] for his hole in the wall
[G] She stops by a streetlight and lights a straight cigarette
[C] As she's torn on his knees, [G] starts to [Em] howl like a dog
She [Am] closes her purse and [Em] tries to peer through [C] the fog
_ [Dm] Nothing seems wrong, but something ain't her right
[G] There's trouble [C] in Paris too
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] The man cleaning his teeth, well, [Em] ain't satisfied
[Am] He's hungry for something that he just can't define
_ [Dm] One by the sink is now sweeping the floor
[G] And the cop, he ran short of dreams a long time before
[C] _ Under a streetlight, there's [G] trouble it [Am] seems
First there's a struggle and [A] then there's a scream
[F] She didn't know what hit her when [A] he asked [Gm] for a light
Now [C] there's trouble in Paris too
[Am] Now _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ Simone was a town girl not [G] far north of [C] Nantes
_ [A] [Bm] Who made love [Am] for money once, then she just couldn't stop
_ [F] Had a fight with her mother, just [Dm] a runaway teen
_ [C] [Gm] Had hotel love with a cop on the rue Saint-Denis
[C] And a boy once abandoned by a cop and a whore
[A] With a knife in his hands, [Am] he was a child of the war
[F] _ _ Either Simone will cut out the lights
[Gm] And it's trouble [F] in [C] Paris [Am]
tonight _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C]
There's a blue shadow moving through the [D] [C] Moulin Rouge
[Am] And a man with a knife pointy in [Am] his teeth
[F] All due to cops, [Dm] it's worse, back to the door
_ _ [G] Somebody [C] just took a piece of this
_ _ _ Somebody standing [G] out cold [C] in the rain
[Am] Could be our warm inside [Db] drinking [A] champagne
[Dm] Being seen as a shadow smoking under a light
[Gm] And there's trouble [C] in Paris too
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] [F] Being seen as a shadow smoking under [Dm] a light
[G] And there's trouble [C] in Paris tonight
[Am] _ _ _ [Em] _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [N] _
