[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
She came from [G]Providence,
[A]one in Rhode Isl[D]and
Where the old world [G]shadows hang,
[A]heavy in the air[D]
She packed her [G]hopes and dreams,
[A]like a r[D]efugee
Just as her [G]father [A]came, across [D]the sea.[G]
[D]She heard abo[G]ut a place,
[A]people were smi[D]ling
Spoke about the red [G]man's way,
[A]how they loved the[D] land
They came from [G]everywhere,
[A]to the Great Divid[D]e
Seeking [G]a place to stay,
[A]or a place to [D]hide.
Down in [G]the crowded bars,
[A]out for a g[D]ood time
Can't wait [G]to tell you all,
[A]what it's like up the[D]re
They call it [G]Paradise,
[A]I don't know why[D]
Somebody laid the moun[G]tains low,
[A]while the town got hig[D]h.[G][D][G]
[D][A][G][D][G]
[D]Then the chilly winds b[G]lew down,
[A]across the[D] desert
Through the canyons [G]of the coast,
[A]to the Mal[D]ibu
Where the pretty [G]people play,
[A]hungry for pow[D]er
Too light their [G]neon ways,
[A]give 'em things to [D]do[G]
[D]Some rich man came and [G]raped the land,
[A]Nobody cau[D]ght him
Put up a bunch of [G]ugly boxes,
[A]and Jesus people [D]bought 'em
They call it [G]paradise,
[A]the place to [D]be
They watched [G]the hazy sun,
[A]sinking in the[D] sea[G][D]
[G][F][Bb][F]
[Bb][F][C][G][Gm]
[Bb][D][Bb][D][Bb][F][Bb]
[F]You can leave it [Bb]all behind
and sail [C]to Lahain[F] a
Just like the missionaries [Bb]did,
[C]so many years [F]ago
They even brought a [Bb]neon sign,
[C]Jesus is coming[F]
They brought the white mans [Bb]burden down
[C]Brought the white mans rei[F]gn
Who will provide [Bb]the grand design..what is
[C]yours and wha[F]t is mine
Cause there is no more [Bb]new frontier,
[C]We have got to mak[F]e it here,
To satisfy our [Bb]endless needs
[C]And justify our [F]bloody deeds
In the name of [Bb]destiny, [C]In the name [F]of God
And you can [Bb]see them there,
[C]on a Sunday morning[F]
Stand up [Bb]and sing about,
[C]what it's like up the[F]re
They call it [Bb]Paradise, [C]I don't k[F]now why
Call some place [Bb]Paradise,
[C]Kiss it goo[F]d by[Bb]e
