              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.

Sweet Virginia Cigarette
Burning in my hand
Well you used to be a friend of mine
But now I understand
You've been eating up inside me for some time
But I know you're gonna get me
Somewhere along the line

D                        D#dim
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

Well, you know I love my woman
And I would not let her down
And I did my share of lovin'
When I used to get around
Now I'm satisfied that she is lookin' fine
But you pay for your satisfaction
Somewhere along the line

Hey, it's good to be a young man
And to live the way you please
Yes, a young man is the king
Of every kingdom that he sees
There's an old and feeble man not far behind
And it surely will catch up to him
Somewhere along the line

Well you know it will catch up to him somewhere
along the line
Whoa whoa, whoa, oh
