Verse 1:
	He went Ato Paris lookin' for answers to questionsD  
	That bothered E7him soA  
	He was impressive,young and agressive
	Savin' tDhe world on his ownE7  
	Warm sumDmer breezes,French wiAne and cheeses
	Put his Dambition at bayE7  
	The summers Aand winters scattered like splinters
	And four or Dfive years slE7ipped awayA  
Verse 2:
	He went Ato England,played the piano,and marriedD  
	An actress E7named KimA  
	They had a good life,she was a good wife
	And bore him Da young son named JimE7  
	All of tDhe answers and all of Athe questions
	He locked iDn his attic one dayE7  
	'Cause he liked thAe quiet clean country livin'
	And twenty moDre years slE7ipped awayA  
Verse 3:
	War took Ahis baby,Bombs killed his lady and left himD  
	With only onE7e eyeA  
	His body was battered,his whole world was shattered
	All he cDould do was just cryE7  
	While the tears weDre fallin' he was Arecallin'
	Answers thaDt he never foundE7  
	So he hopped iAn a freighter,skidded the ocean
	And left EngDland without E7a soundA  
Verse 4:
