European Flowers

D Dmaj7 D I left my home in Texas, riding European bound G Em A7 Here’s a story of a cowboy and the French girl’s love he found. D Dmaj7 D The first time I saw Paris, I saw it in her eyes G Em A7 I remember how I loved her, underneath those French blue skies Em A7 D G She said: "I'll never leave you" I said: "Please, come home with me" Em A7 And then I heard her say: "I'll have to wait and see" D Dmaj7 D We took a boat from some German town, and floated down the Rhine G Em A7 We spend our nights in small hotels and drank each other’s wine G A7 D G We walked the hills of Spain, saw London in the rain Em A7 That was the last time I saw her again D Em A7 She said: "European flowers don’t grow in the USA D G Em I love you more than anything but it’s you who have to stay D Dmaj7 G Em7 If you love me, understand me, it's the only way D Em A7 D ‘Cause European flowers don’t grow in the USA" D Dmaj7 D I went home so all alone, with her always on my mind G Em A7 I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, knowing I'd left her behind Em A7 D G I never heard a word from her, so I wrote and asked her why: Em A7 "Does Paris look the same as it used to in your eyes?" D Dmaj7 D I finally got your picture, who’s the baby close to you? G Em A7 He looks just like a Texas boy who fell in in love with you Em A7 D G I'll be flying back to you soon on a one way ticket ride Em A7 Don’t be ashamed to use my name, there’s nothing for you to hide D Em A7 She said: "European flowers don’t grow in the USA D G Em I love you more than anything but it’s you who have to stay D Dmaj7 G Em7 If you love me, understand me, it's the only way D Em A7 D ‘Cause European flowers don’t grow in the USA" D Em A7 She said: "European flowers don’t grow in the USA D G Em I love you more than anything but it’s you who have to stay D Dmaj7 G Em7 If you love me, understand me, it's the only way D Em A7 D ‘Cause European flowers don’t grow in the USA"
