C
A country girl in Paris, moonlight on the Seine
C7
Memories of Tennessee, Nashville in the rain
F C
It's such a contradiction, a heart that's filled with pain

G G7 C
A country girl in Paris dreamin' Nashville in the rain

C
She walks along the boulevard Champs Elysee
C7
Thinks about a country boy three thousand miles away
F C
Pride is such a hard thing, It's such a price to pay
G G7 C
To be all alone in Paris with true love so far away

Am F C
Up upon Montmartre when she stops to rest a while
Em F G
All the artists look at her and they long to paint her
smile
Am F C
For even in her sorrow there's something in her eyes
Em F G
That makes the young men jealous, makes the old men
sigh

Am F C
They say the loss of innocence is always linked to pain
Em F G
For once the heart is opened nothing ever is the same
Am F C
And so the evening lends itself to lovers and ro mance
Em F
The way to heal a broken heart is to give true love
G G7
Just one more chance

C
A country girl in Paris, moonlight on the Seine
C7
Memories of Tennessee, Nashville in the rain
F C
It's such a contradiction, a heart that's filled with pain
G G7 C
A country girl in Paris dreamin' Nashville in the rain
G G7 C
A country girl in Paris, longing for Nashville in the
rain
