Song: Paris Blues
By:   Terry Callier

[intro:]

|Am7  |D7  |Gmaj7  |Cmaj7 |F#m  |B7    |Em     |    | 
|Am7  |D7  |Gmaj7  |Cmaj7 |F#m  |B7    |Em     |    |

[verse: 1]
    |Am7         |B7                |Em     |      |
The sky was gray when I woke up this morning
|Am7              |B7             |Em     |     |
  Seems to me that nothing was the same
|Am7         |D7               |Gmaj7   |Cmaj7   |
 My situation changed without a warning
|F                |F                    |Em     |Em   |
  The sad thing is I don't know who's to blame

[verse: 2]
|Am7                  |B7              |Em     |      |
  Once upon a time our love was shining brightly
|Am7          |B7             |Em     |     |
 Maybe it was just too good to last
|Am7             |D7               |Gmaj7   |Cmaj7   |
 Or I don't know, perhaps I held to tightly
|F                |F          |Em     |Em   |
 I had no idea the end come so fast


[chorus:]
   |Am7         |D7   |
 Au revoir, she said
               |Gmaj7              |Cmaj7    |
She's out of my life, I'm out of my head
|F#m            |B7               |Em     |    
 So difficult to know which way to choose
         |Am7         |D7    |
And she's gone, c'est ca
        |Gmaj7          |Cmaj7   |
Can I go on,  je ne sais pas
      |F#m          |B7            |Em     |Em   | 
Got to find a way to lose the Paris Blues


[solo:]
|Cmaj7  |Am7  |Bm   |G   |C  |B7  |Em   |Em  |
|Cmaj7  |Am7  |Bm   |G   |C  |B7  |Em   |Em  |

[verse: 3]
Am7            |B7             |Em     |      |
  The boulevard is just another byway
|Am7                     |B7        |Em     |      |
 Where we walked together now I walk alone
|Am7                  |D7                  |Gmaj7  |Cmaj7   |
 One more lonely heart  and one more lonely high____way
|F               |F               |Em     |Em   |
 One more drifter one more rolling stone


[chorus:]
   |Am7         |D7   |
 Au revoir, she said
               |Gmaj7              |Cmaj7    |
She's out of my life, I'm out of my head
|F#m            |B7               |Em     |    
 So difficult to know which way to choose
         |Am7         |D7    |
And she's gone, c'est ca
        |Gmaj7          |Cmaj7   |
Can I go on,  je ne sais pas
      |F#m          |B7            |Em     |Em   | 
Got to find a way to lose the Paris Blues
