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

G                             G7 C
A country girl in Paris . . .  
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
