a country girl in paris
John Denver


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

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

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

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