C G D G
[Verse]
C G
We met in Nashville, one night in the Bluebird cafe
D G
I’d just sung a love song – one that I had written that day
C G
When I saw those big brown eyes I knew I didn’t have a prayer
D G
He said “Are you new in town? Hey can I take you anywhere?”
[Chorus]
C G
I said “You could take me to Paris” - we could watch the sunset there
D G
Or take me on a Mississippi riverboat with the wind blowing in my hair
C G D Em
Or you could drive me in a red Mustang all the way from Atlanta to L.A.
D G Gsus4 G
Just take me in your arms – and love me.
[Verse]
C G
We spent the next few weeks doing all the things that lovers do
D G
We talked about forever, and making all our dreams come true
C G
Then killing me not so softly he seemed to slip away
D G
But more than every now and then I smile and think about that day
[Chorus]
C G
When he took me to Paris and we watched the sunset there
D G
He took me on a Mississippi riverboat with the wind blowing in my hair
C G D Em
Then he drove me in a red Mustang all the way from Atlanta to L.A.
D G Gsus4 G
He took me in his arms – and loved me.
[Outro]
C G
“Oh take me to Paris - we could watch the sunset there
D G
Or take me on a Mississippi riverboat with the wind blowing in my hair
C G D Em
You could drive me in a red Mustang all the way from Atlanta to L.A.
C D G
Just take me in your arms – and love me.
Em D G
Just take me in your arms – and love me.”
