[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]He went to Paris, looking for answers
To [C]questions that bothered him [G]so
He was impressive, young and aggressive
[C]Savin' the world on his own[D]
But the [C]warm summer breezes
The [G]French wines and cheeses
[C]Put his ambition at bay[D]
His [G]summers and winters
Scattered like splinters
And [C]four to five [D]years slipped a[G]way

[Verse 2]
Then [G]he went to England
Played the piano
And [C]married an actress named [G]Kim
They had a fine life, she was a good wife
And [C]bore him a young son named [D]Jim
And [C]all of the answers, [G]and all of the questions
[C]He locked in his attic one day[D]
'Cause [G]he liked the quiet, clean country livin'
And [C]twenty more [D]years slipped a[G]way

[C][D][G]

[Verse 3]
Well, the [G]war took his baby
Bombs killed his lady
And [C]left him with only one [G]eye
His body was battered
His whole world was shattered
And [C]all he could do was just [D]cry
While the [C]tears were [G]falling, he was recalling
[C]Answers he'd never fou[D]nd
So he [G]hopped on a freighter,
skidded the ocean
And [C]left Eng[D]land without a [G]sound
[G][G]

[Verse 4]
Now he [G]lives in the islands, fishes the pilings
And [C]drinks his green label each [G]day
Writing his memoirs, losin' his hearin'
But he [C]don't care what most people [D]say
Through [C]eighty-six years of per[G]petual motion
If he [C]likes you he'll smile and he'll [D]say:
"Jimmy, [G]some of it's magic, some of it's tragic
But I [C]had a good [D]life all the [G]way."

[Outro 1]
And [G]he went to Paris, lookin' for answers
To [C]questions [D]that bothered him so[G]
