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

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
