The Kingston Trio

transcribed by Mike Mirarchi
 

Intro: D D/E D/F#  D/E D
 
during the verses, play the same chords as the intro
 
A young man goes to Paris 
As every young man should
There's something in the air of France
That does a young man good
 
refrain:
 
G          D    G   D   G
La la ...
 
G                               Am
Raspberries, strawberries, the good wines we brew
D
Here's to the girls in the countryside 
            C          G
The ones we drink them to
 
The Paris nights are warm and fair
The summer winds are soft
A young man finds the face of love
In every field and loft
   C      D7        G
In every field and loft
 
refrain
 
 
An old man returns to Paris
As every old man must
He finds the winter winds blow cold
His dreams have turned to dust
    C            D7        Em
His dreams have turned to dust
     C           D7        G
His dreams have turned to dust
 
G            D    G    D   G
La la la ...
G                               Am
Raspberries, strawberries, the good wines we brew
D
Here's to the girls in the countryside
             C      G
Whom we must bid adieu
