TITLE: Free Man in Paris  
Lyrics and Chords  


The way I see it he said you just can't win it  
Everybody's in it for their own gain you can't please 'em all  
There's always somebody calling you down  
I do my best and I do good business  
There's a lot of people asking for my time  
They're tryin' to get ahead  
They're tryin' to be a good friend of mine  

/ G - C - / Bb - F / Eb / G - C - / Bb - / F Eb / G - - - /  

Refrain  
I was a free man in Paris  
I felt unfettered and alive  
There was nobody callin' me up for favors   
And no ones future to decide  
You know I'd go back there tomorrow   
But for the work I've taken on  
Stokin' the star maker machinery behind the popular song  

/ Eb - / F Bb / Gsus4 C / G - / 1st 2nd / Gsus4 C G - /  

I deal in dreamers and telephone screamers  
Lately I wonder what I do it for if I had my way  
I'd just walk through those doors and wander  
Down the Champs Elysees  
Going cafe to cabaret thinking how I'd feel when I find  
That very good friend of mine  

Refrain
