G I can still hear him playing, April in ParisD Dexter's blowing his hornC G It's a used up tune for a faded moonC D He plays for the memory of something that's gone [Verse]G Plays like a lover, who's holding a dreamD When he knows that the dream won't lastC G He's going down slow, but he's scared to let goC 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 horseD He'll take what's on offer todayC G It's a loser's refrain come back againContinues after the adC D That thin line of snow to blow you away [Verse]G He says "Buy me a vin rouge, buy me a beerD As he sits in The Blue Note CaféC G He's ending his days in a purple hazeC D As pink and blue neon drag night into day [Chorus]C D Em And the dancers have left the floorC D Em And the last of the late night drinkers are out of the doorC The old man's hung up his hornD 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 fameD It's for something that sings through it allC G When the music rings true, your soul comes throughC D And that's what you do, 'til you hear the last chord [Verse]G They say we go out the way we came inD It's how we played it that marks out the manC G If we can leave a trace of beauty and graceC D Then it wasn't for nothing, just part of the plan [Chorus]C D Em And the dancers have left the floorC D Em And the last of the late night drinkers are out of the doorC The old man's hung up his hornD He's playing no more
