VERSE
          A                             D
The way I see it he said you just can't win it
            C                                               G
Everybody's in it for their own gain; you can't please them all
               F                    A
There's always somebody calling you down
                           D
I do my best and I do good business
                        C
There's a lot of people asking for my time
                       G
They're tryin' to get ahead;
                  F                   A
They're tryin' to be a good friend of mine


CHORUS
        F/C
I was a free man in Paris
       G                  C
I felt unfettered and ali–ve
                 Asus4             D
There was nobody callin' me up for favours
            A
And no–one’s future to decide
             F/C
You know I'd go back there tomorrow
            G               C
But for the work I've taken on
            Asus4        D                  A
Stokin' the star maker machinery 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
I'd just walk through those doors and wander
                  D
Down the Champs Elysees;
              C
Going café to cabaret thinking
                    G
How I'd feel when I find
     F                   A
That very good friend of mine


CHORUS
        F/C

       G                  C

Nobody callin' me up for favours
            A

            G               C
