^C A country girl in Paris, moonlight on the Seine
Memories ^C7 of Tennessee, Nashville in the rain
^F It's su ^C ch a contradiction, a heart that's filled with pain
^G A count ^G7 ry girl ^C in Paris dreamin' Nashville in the rain
^C She walks along the boulevard Champs Elysee
Thinks a ^C7 bout a country boy three thousand miles away
^F Pride i ^C s such a hard thing, It's such a price to pay
To be ^G all alo ^G7 ne in Pa ^C ris with true love so far away
^Am Up upon ^F Montmar ^C tre when she stops to rest a while
^Em All the ^F artists ^G look at her and they long to paint her
smile
For ^Am even in ^F her sor ^C row there's something in her eyes
^Em That ma ^F kes the ^G young men jealous, makes the old men
sigh
^G A count ^G7 ry girl ^C in Paris . . . -
^Am They sa ^F y the lo ^C ss of innocence is always linked to pain
^Em For onc ^F e the he ^G art is opened nothing ever is the same
^Am And so ^F the even ^C ing lends itself to lovers and ro mance
^Em The way ^F to heal a broken heart is to give true love
Just ^G one mor ^G7 e chance
^C A country girl in Paris, moonlight on the Seine
Memories ^C7 of Tennessee, Nashville in the rain
^F It's su ^C ch a contradiction, a heart that's filled with pain
^G A count ^G7 ry girl ^C in Paris dreamin' Nashville in the rain
^G A count ^G7 ry girl ^C in Paris, longing for Nashville in the
rain
