Verse 1:
LA RE
He went to Paris lookin' for answers to questions
MI7 LA
That bothered him so
He was impressive,young and agressive
RE MI7
Savin' the world on his own
RE LA
Warm summer breezes,French wine and cheeses
RE MI7
Put his ambition at bay
LA
The summers and winters scattered like splinters
RE MI7 LA
And four or five years slipped away
Verse 2:
LA RE
He went to England,played the piano,and married
MI7 LA
An actress named Kim
They had a good life,she was a good wife
RE MI7
And bore him a young son named Jim
RE LA
All of the answers and all of the questions
RE MI7
He locked in his attic one day
LA
'Cause he liked the quiet clean country livin'
RE MI7 LA
And twenty more years slipped away
Verse 3:
LA RE
War took his baby,Bombs killed his lady and left him
MI7 LA
With only one eye
His body was battered,his whole world was shattered
RE MI7
All he could do was just cry
RE LA
While the tears were fallin' he was recallin'
RE MI7
Answers that he never found
LA
So he hopped in a freighter,skidded the ocean
RE MI7 LA
And left England without a sound
Verse 4:
LA RE
Now he lives in the islands,fishes the pilin' and drinks
MI7 LA
His Green label each day
Writing his memoirs,losin' his hearin'
RE MI7
But he don't care what most people say
RE LA
After eighty-six years of perpetual motion
RE MI7
If he likes you he'll smile and say
LA
"Jimmy,some of it's magic,probably tragic,
RE MI7 LA
But i had a good life all the way"
LA RE
He went to Paris lookin' for answers to questions
MI7 LA
That bothered him so
