Try these chords--slightly different, but follow the melody a bit better. Four counts(one measure) between the slashes--play two downstrokes for each chord--


Paper Moon

||GG#°/Am7D7/Am7D7/GG/
GG7/CAm7/D9D7/GG/
GG#°/Am7D7/Am7D7/GG/
GG7/CAm7/D9D7/GG7/
(Bridge)
Am7A#°/Bm7E7/A7D7/G G/
Am7A#°/Bm7E7/A7A7/D7D7/

GG#°/Am7D7/Am7D7/GG/
GG7/CAm7/D9D7/GG/||

I think the words are approximately right--but I think the bridge should be"With out your love, life's a honky tonk parade, without you love,it's a melody played in a penny arcade", and the second to the last line, last verse, written, I have heard, by Dorothy Parker, should be"It's a Barnum and Bailey world, fake and phoney as it can be"--
