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

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, longing G7 for Nashville in the C
