   A                                
He went to Paris looking for answers
   D                           A 
To questions that bothered him so
A                                     
He was impressive young and aggressive
D                   E7     
Saving the world on his own
        Bm7                
But the warm summer breezes
A                           
The French wines and cheeses
D                     E  
■ Put his ambition at bay
E7 A                                           
■  Summers and winters scattered like splinters
    D            E             A   
And four or five years slipped away
     A                                  
Then he went to England played the piano
    D                  A        
And married an actress named Kim
     A                                  
They had a fine life she was a good wife
    D                    E        
And bore him a young son named Jim
D                      A                       
And all of the answers and all of the questions
D                            E7  E E7
■ He locked in his attic one day ■ ■ 
A                                             
'cause he liked the quiet clean country living
D               E             A   
And twenty more years slipped away

[Verse]
         A                                          
Well the war took his baby the bombs killed his lady
    D                  A      
And left him with only one eye
    A                                        
His body was battered his world was shattered
    D                        E   E7
And all he could do was just cry ■ 
E E7        D                  A               
■ While the tears were falling he was recalling
D                E    
Answers he never found
E7       A                                      
■  So he hopped on a freighter skidded the ocean
    D    E7                A    
And left England without a sound
       A                                      
Now he lives in the islands fishes the pilin's
    D                           A  
And drinks his green label each day
A                                     
Writing his memoirs losing his hearing
       D                           E7 
But he don't care what most people say


[Chorus]
D                          A               
Through eightysix years of perpetual motion
   D                                   E7 
If he likes you he'll smile then he'll say
A                                           
Jimmy some of it's magic some of it's tragic
      D          E7           A  
But I had a good life all the way
    A                                   
And he went to Paris looking for answers
   D         Esus4 E7              A 
To questions ■     that bother him so
