A Country Girl In Paris
John Denver      (klr)

capo 3rd fret

[C] A country girl in Paris, moonlight on the Seine
Memories of Tennessee, Nashville in the [C7] rain
[F] It's such a contradiction, a heart that's filled with [C] pain
[G] A country girl in Paris dreamin' [G7] Nashville in the [C] rain

[C] She walks along the boulevard Champs Elysee
Thinks about a country boy three thousand miles [C7] away
[F] Pride is such a hard thing, It's such a price to [C] pay
To be [G] all alone in Paris with true [G7] love so far [C] away

[Am] Up upon Montmartre when she [F] stops to rest a [C] while
[Em] All the artists look at her and they [F] long to paint her [G]
smile
For [Am] even in her sorrow there's [F] something in her [C] eyes
[Em] That makes the young men jealous, [F] makes the old men [G]
sigh

[C] - - - - - [C7]
[F] - - - - [C]
[G] A country girl in Paris . . . [G7] - [C]

[Am] They say the loss of innocence is [F] always linked to [C] pain
[Em] For once the heart is opened nothing [F] ever is the [G] same
[Am] And so the evening lends itself to [F] lovers and ro [C] mance
[Em] The way to heal a broken heart is to [F] give true love
Just [G] one more  chance [G7]

[C] A country girl in Paris, moonlight on the Seine
Memories of Tennessee, Nashville in the [C7] rain
[F] It's such a contradiction, a heart that's filled with [C] pain
[G] A country girl in Paris dreamin' [G7] Nashville in the [C] rain
[G] A country girl in Paris, longing [G7] for Nashville in the [C]
rain
