performed by Waylon Jennings.
Verse 1: AD He went to Paris lookin' for answers to questions E7A That bothered him so
He was impressive,young and agressive DE7 Savin' the world on his own DA Warm summer breezes,French wine and cheeses DE7 Put his ambition at bay A The summers and winters scattered like splinters DE7A And four or five years slipped away
Verse 2: AD He went to England,played the piano,and married E7A An actress named Kim
They had a good life,she was a good wife DE7 And bore him a young son named Jim DA All of the answers and all of the questions DE7 He locked in his attic one day A 'Cause he liked the quiet clean country livin' DE7A And twenty more years slipped away
Verse 3: AD War took his baby,Bombs killed his lady and left him E7A With only one eye
His body was battered,his whole world was shattered DE7 All he could do was just cry DA While the tears were fallin' he was recallin' DE7 Answers that he never found A So he hopped in a freighter,skidded the ocean DE7A And left England without a sound
Verse 4: AD Now he lives in the islands,fishes the pilin' and drinks E7A His Green label each day
Writing his memoirs,losin' his hearin' DE7 But he don't care what most people say DA After eighty-six years of perpetual motion DE7 If he likes you he'll smile and say A "Jimmy,some of it's magic,probably tragic, DE7A But i had a good life all the way"
AD He went to Paris lookin' for answers to questions E7A That bothered him so
