             G              C
Well, it's a rainy night in Paris,
        Am                D 
and I'm sitting by the Seine,
        G              C      G/B    Am        D
It's a pleasure to be soaking in the European rain,
       Em              Bm/D           C
Now my belly's full of fancy food and wine.
              G/B                 C
Oh but in the morning there'll be hell to pay
Dsus4                 G
somewhere along the line.
                           C
In the morning there'll be hell to pay
D7sus4                 G  D  F  C  D7sus4  G
somewhere along the line.

G              C         Am               D
Sweet Virginia cigarette burnin' in my hand.
         G            C         G/B      Am           D
Well you used to be a friend of mine but now I understand,
            Em          Bm/D             C
You've been eating up inside me for some time.
         G/B               C
Oh and I know you're gonna get me
Dsus4                 G
somewhere along the line.
                         C
Well I know you're gonna get me
D7sus4                G  D  F  C
somewhere along the line

D                         Ebdim
Somewhere along the line,
       Em                           C
Well I know it's just a matter of time.
         G/B                       C
Well the fun falls through and the rent comes due
Am7                       F
somewhere along the line.
   Dsus4  D7
Oh

          G              C
Well you know I love my woman,
       Am                  D
And I would not let her down,
       G              C      G/B    Am            D
And I did my share of lovin' when I used to get around.
        Em
Now I'm satisfied,
    Bm/D           C
And she is lookin' fine,
           G                 C
Oh but you pay for your satisfaction
Dsus4                  G
somewhere along the line,
                          C
But you pay for your satisfaction
D7sus4                 G  D  F  C  D7sus4  G
somewhere along the line

         G             C
Hey it's good to be a young man,
       Am                  D
And to live the way you please,
      G                C       G/B   Am               D
Yes a young man is the king of ev'ry kingdom that he sees.
               Em             Bm/D          C
But there's an old and feeble man not far behind,
        G                 C
Oh that surely will catch up to him
Dsus4                  G
somewhere along the line,
                       C
That surely will catch up to him
D7sus4                 G
somewhere along the line
