There's also Puccini's La Boheme, but it requires higher singing skills...]]> Guitar Players Discussion Blind_Lemon_Pye https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/songs-about-paris/#post-145566 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/songs-about-paris/#post-145555 Mon, 19 Dec 2005 17:19:40 +0000 yea, I said musical. it's one of my favorites.
there are a few songs there that would be most apt.
you'd have to suss them out, tho.
check out
American In Paris.
Gene Kelly and Cid Charise star. both hot dancers.
the scenery looks like Latrec paintings.

yeah, I said musical.]]> Guitar Players Discussion dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/songs-about-paris/#post-145555 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/songs-about-paris/#post-145546 Mon, 19 Dec 2005 16:22:41 +0000


From: J.P.Wilks@cs.bham.ac.uk (Julie P Wilks)

These are the (easy) chords for Free Man in Paris (Joni's version anyway).

Free Man in Paris
=================

Words and Music by Joni Mitchell


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 'em all,
F A
There's always somebody putting 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
I was a free man in Paris,
G
I felt unfettered and alive,
C Asus4
There was nobody callin' me up for favours
A
and no-ones future to decide,
F
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 machinary behind the popular songs.

Instrumental bit ... (mix it about a bit!)

Em9 A Em9 A Em9 A

C D F C D G A C D F C D G A


Verse 2:

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 wan-der,
D
down the Champs Elysees;
C
going cafe to cabaret, thinking
G
how I'd feel when I find,
F A
that very good friend of mine

Chorus:

End instrumental bit ...

A C D F C D G A
