[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/eric_andersen/trouble_in_paris_crd.html ]
D                                        D/C#
There's a blue shadow moving through the Moulin Rouge
Bm                           D
And a man with a knife point pickin his teeth
G                             Em
An off duty cop sits with his back to the door
    A
And somebody just took a piss in the sink
D                                     D/C#
The cop's drinkin Pernod thinks he's drinkin absinthe
Bm                                     D
With the girl who had loved him on the Rue St. Denis
G                               Em
While somebody's slinkin smokin under a light
            A                Bm
And there's trouble in Paris tonight
D                               D/C#
Now Simone pulls the collar up tight to her throat
Bm                                   D
While the riverboats knock under the old Pont Neuf
G                         Em
A rat makes a run for his hole in the wall
    A
She stops by a street light and lights a straight cigarette
D                               D/C#
A Gitane on his knees starts to howl like a dog
Bm                                D
She closes her purse and tries to peer through the fog
G                      Em
Nothin seems wrong but somethin ain't right
            A                    Bm
And there's trouble in Paris tonight
D                                     D/C#
Now the man cleanin his teeth well he ain't satisfied
Bm                               D
He's hungry for somethin that he just can't define
G                          Em
The one by the sink is now sweeping the floor
        A
And the cop he ran short of dreams a long time before
D                                    D/C#
While under a street lamp there's trouble it seems
Bm                           D
First there's a struggle and then there's a scream
G                                     Em
She didn't know what hit her when he asked for a light
            A                Bm
And there's trouble in Paris tonight
D                                D/C#
Simone had been a town girl not far north of Nantes
Bm                             D
Who did it for money once then she just couldn't stop
G                           Em
Had a fight with her mother another runaway teen
A
Who had hotel love with a cop on the Rue St. Denis
D                             D/C#
And a boy once abandoned by a cop and a whore
Bm                                D
Has a knife in his hands he was a child of the war
G                       Em
It was either Simone or cut out the lights
            A                Bm
And there's trouble in Paris tonight
D                                         D/C#
There's a blue shadow moving through the Moulin Rouge
Bm                           D
And a man with a knife point pickin his teeth
G                             Em
An off duty cop sits with his back to the door
A
And somebody just took a piss in the sink
D                            D/C#
While somebody's standin out cold in the rain
Bm                       D
Could be all warm inside drinking champagne
G                             Em
Being thin as a shadow smokin under a light
            A                 Bm
And there's trouble in Paris tonight
G                            Em
Bein thin as a shadow smokin under a light
            A                Bm
And there's trouble in Paris tonight
