He went to Paris looking for answers
       D                       A Asus4
To questions that bothered him so

He was impressive - Young and aggressive
D                        E
Saving the world on his own

Well, the war took his baby - Bombs killed his lady
    D                      A  Asus4
And left him with only one eye
    A
His body was battered - His whole world was shattered

And all he could do was just cry
          D                     A
While the tears were a' fallin' he was recallin'
D                     E
The answers he never found

    D            E         A    Asus4 A Asus4
And left England without a sound

Through eighty six years of perpetual motion

But I had a good life all the way
