Notes From Paris

      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                               
He plays for the memory of 
         D
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                        
He's going down slow, but he's 
 G
scared to let go
C                                 
Deep down he knows, the dreaming 
   D
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
Continúa después del anuncio
     C                             
That thin line of snow to blow you 
 D
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                            
As pink and blue neon drag night 
      D
into day

[Chorus]
        C            D        Em
And the dancers have left the floor
        C                     
And the last of the late night 
 D                       Em
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                           
And that's what you do, 'til you 
               D
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                       
Then it wasn't for nothing, just 
             D
part of the plan

[Chorus]
        C            D        Em
And the dancers have left the floor
        C                     
And the last of the late night 
 D                       Em
drinkers are out of the door
            C
The old man's hung up his horn
                D
He's playing no more
