WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Allan Taylor - Notes From Paris Chords | Ver. 1
[Intro]
G D C G C D x2
[Verse]
G
I can still hear him playing, April in Paris
D
Dexter's blowing his horn
C G
It's a used up tune for a faded moon
C D
He plays for the memory of something that's gone
[Verse]
G
Plays like a lover, who's holding a dream
D
When he knows that the dream won't last
C G
He's going down slow, but he's scared to let go
C D
Deep down he knows, the dreaming has passed
[Instrumental]
G D C G C D x2
[Verse]
G
One hit of cocaine, one hit of horse
D
He'll take what's on offer today
C G
It's a loser's refrain come back again
C D
That thin line of snow to blow you away
[Verse]
G
He says "Buy me a vin rouge, buy me a beer
D
As he sits in The Blue Note Café
C G
He's ending his days in a purple haze
C D
As pink and blue neon drag night into day
[Chorus]
C D Em
And the dancers have left the floor
C D Em
And the last of the late night drinkers are out of the door
C
The old man's hung up his horn
D
He's playing no more
[Instrumental]
G D C G C D x2
[Verse]
G
It's not for the money, it's not for the fame
D
It's for something that sings through it all
C G
When the music rings true, your soul comes through
C D
And that's what you do, 'til you hear the last chord
[Verse]
G
They say we go out the way we came in
D
It's how we played it that marks out the man
C G
If we can leave a trace of beauty and grace
C D
Then it wasn't for nothing, just part of the plan
[Chorus]
C D Em
And the dancers have left the floor
C D Em
And the last of the late night drinkers are out of the door
C
The old man's hung up his horn
D
He's playing no more
[Outro]
