[Verse 1]
[A][A]
[A]She came from Pro[D]vidence
[E]One in Rhode Isl[A]and
Where the old world [D]shadows hang
[E]Heavy in the air[A]
She packed her [D]hopes and dreams
[E]Like a refugee[A]
Just as her [Bm]father came
[E]across the sea[A]

[Verse 2]
[A]She heard abou[D]t a place
[E]People were smi[A]lin'
They spoke about the [D]red man's way
[E]And how they lov[A]ed the land
And they came from [D]everywhere
[E]To the Great Divid[A]e
Seeking a [D]place to stand
[E]Or a place to hid[A]e

[Verse 3]
[A]Down in the cro[D]wded bars
[E]Out for a goo[A]d time
Can't wait to [D]tell you all
[E]What it's like up the[A]re
And they called it [D]paradise
[E]I don't know why[A]

[E]While the town got

[Verse 4]
[A]Then the chilly win[D]ds blew down
[E]Across the de [A]sert
Through the canyons [D]of the coast
[E]To the Malibu[A]
Where the pretty [D]people play
[E]Hungry for po [A]wer
To light their [D]neon way
[E]Give them things to do[A]

[Verse 5]
[A]Some rich men came and rap[D]ed the land
[E]Nobody cau[A]ght 'em
Put up a bunch of [D]ugly boxes
[E]And Jesus people bought 'em[A]
And they called it [D]paradise
[E]The place to be[A]
They watched the [D]ha zy sun
[E]Sinking in the sea

[Verse 6]
[C]You can leave it all[F] behind
[G]Sail to Lahai[C]na
Just like the missiona[F]ries did
[G]So many years ago[C]
They even brought a ne[F]on sign
[G]"Jesus is co [C]ming"
Brought the white man's [F]burden down
[G]Brought the white man's rei[C]gn

[Verse 7]
[C]Who will provide the gra[F]nd design?
[G]What is yours and wha[C]t is mine?
'Cause there is no more [F]new frontier
[G]We have got to mak[C]e it here
We satisfy [F]our endless needs
[G]And justify our[C] bloody deeds
In the name of [F]destiny
[G]And in the name of God[C]

[Verse 8]
[C]And you can see[F] them there

Stand up and [F]sing about

You call someplace [F]paradise
[G]Kiss it goodbye[C]
