Verse:
          A                              D
The way I see it he said, you just canʼt win it,
            C                                              G
Everybodyʼs in it for their own gain; you canʼt please ʼem all,
               F                       A
Thereʼs always somebody putting you down,
                           D
I do my best and I do good business,
                        C
Thereʼs a lot of people asking for my time,
                          G
Theyʼre tryinʼ to get ahead;
                  F                   A
theyʼre tryinʼ to be a good friend of   mine,

Chorus:
        F
I was a free man in Paris,
       G
I felt unfettered and alive,
C                  Asus4
There was nobody callinʼ me up for favours
            A
and no-ones future to decide,
             F
You know Iʼd go back there tomorrow
            G                   C
but for the work Iʼve taken on,
            Asus4          D                A
stokinʼ the star maker machinary behind the popular songs.

Verse:
          A                        D
I deal in dreamers and telephone screamers,
         C                                    G
Lately I wonder what I do it for; if I had my way,
         F                                A
Iʼd just walk through those doors, and wan-der,
                  D
down the Champs Elysees;
              C
going cafe to cabaret, thinking
                         G
how Iʼd feel when I find,
     F                   A
that very good friend of   mine

Chorus.
