Paris
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Leather Jackets
Gb
C C/E F Eb
Nobody left in the airport lounge
Bb
They cleaned the ashtrays
F Eb
TV's just wound down
F
I've got to wait till morning
Eb
I've got to last the night
Db
I've only got one book
Bbm C
To see me through my flight
F
But when I get to Paris
Eb Db
We'll paint all our portraits
Ab
In brush-strokes of yellow
Eb
And christen the canvas
Abm
The left bank is crying
Bbm
For colour to crown it
Db Gb/Db Db
Like the roof of a palace
Ab
We'll drink in the amber
Gb
When I get to Paris
You were the best of Montmartre Street life
You signed the tablecloth
Art has its price
It's so hard to hold on
To the ghost of your breed
It takes ambition
To call the colours you need
F
I've got to wait till morning
Eb
I've got to last the night
Db
I've only got one book
Bbm C
To see me through my flight
Gb
Paris, Paris, Paris, Paris
