Waylon Jennings

H ^A e went to Paris lookin' for answers to qu ^D estions
That b ^E7 othered him s ^A o
He was impressive,young and agressive
S ^D avin' the world on his ^E7 own
W ^D arm summer breezes,Fr ^A ench wine and cheeses
P ^D ut his ambition at ^E7 bay
The s ^A ummers and winters scattered like splinters
And f ^D our or five y ^E7 ears slipped aw ^A ay
Verse 2:
H ^A e went to England,played the piano,and m ^D arried
An a ^E7 ctress named K ^A im
They had a good life,she was a good wife
And b ^D ore him a young son named J ^E7 im
A ^D ll of the answers and ^A all of the questions
He l ^D ocked in his attic one d ^E7 ay
'Cause he l ^A iked the quiet clean country livin'
And tw ^D enty more y ^E7 ears slipped aw ^A ay
Verse 3:
W ^A ar took his baby,Bombs killed his lady and l ^D eft him
With ^E7 only one e ^A ye
His body was battered,his whole world was shattered
A ^D ll he could do was just c ^E7 ry
While the t ^D ears were fallin' ^A he was recallin'
Answ ^D ers that he never fo ^E7 und
So he h ^A opped in a freighter,skidded the ocean
And l ^D eft England w ^E7 ithout a so ^A und
Verse 4:
N ^A ow he lives in the islands,fishes the pilin' and dr ^D inks
His Gr ^E7 een label each d ^A ay
Writing his memoirs,losin' his hearin'
But he d ^D on't care what most people s ^E7 ay
After e ^D ighty-six years of p ^A erpetual motion
If he l ^D ikes you he'll smile and s ^E7 ay
"Jimmy,s ^A ome of it's magic,probably tragic,
But i h ^D ad a good l ^E7 ife all the w ^A ay"
He w ^A ent to Paris lookin' for answers to qu ^D estions
That b ^E7 othered him s ^A o
