Last Mango In Paris

Capo: 2nd fret

[Verse 1]
       D               G
I went down to Captain Tony's
   D              G
To get out of the heat
       D                  G
Then I heard a voice call out to me
 D               G
"Son come have a seat"
 
  Bm               G
I had to search my memory
     Bm                G
As I looked into those eyes
     Bm                   G
Our lives change like the weather
      D            A
But a legend never dies
 
[Chorus]
                  D             G
He said I ate the last mango in Paris
          A                D
Took the last plane out of Saigon
         Bm                 Em
Took the first fast boat to China
                  A                   D
And Jimmy there's still so much to be done
 
[Verse 2]
        D                   G
I had a third world girl in Buzios
       D              G
With a pistol in each hand
     D             G
She always kept me covered
      D                  G
As we moved from land to land
 
        Bm               G
I had a damn good run on Wall Street
        Bm                 G
With my high fashion model wife
  Bm                       G
I woke up dry beneath the African sky
     D                    A
Just me and my Swiss Army knife
 
[Chorus]
                  D             G
He said I ate the last mango in Paris
          A                D
Took the last plane out of Saigon
         Bm                 G
Took the first fast boat to China
                  A                   D
And Jimmy there's still so much to be done

[Verse 3]
   D                   G
We shot the breeze for hours
       D                 G
As the sun fell from the sky
    D               G
And like the sun he disappeared
  D            G
Before my very eyes
 
       Bm             G
It was somewhere past dark-thirty
      Bm               G
And I went back to the head
  Bm            G
I read upon the dingy wall
    D                 A
The words the old man said
 
[Chorus]
                  D             G
He said I ate the last mango in Paris
          A                D
Took the last plane out of Saigon
         Bm                 G
Took the first fast boat to China
                  A                   D
And Jimmy there's still so much to be done
 
                  D             G
He said I ate the last mango in Paris
          A                D
Took the last plane out of Saigon
         Bm                 G
Took the first fast boat to China
                  A                   D
And Jimmy there's still so much to be done

That's why we wander and follow La Vie Dansante
                                              G
On the night wind that takes us just where we roam
              Em      A          D
That's all we want La Vie Dansante
 
D
La La La La La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La La La La
 
G        Em    A       D
La la la la la la la la
 
D
That's why we wander and follow La Vie Dansante
                                              G
On the night wind that takes us just where we roam
              Em      A          D
That's all we want La Vie Dansante
