F               Bb        C                  F
 She came from Providence  the one in Rhode Island
                     Bb          C               F
Where the old world shadows hang   heavy in the air
               Bb               C             F
She packed her hopes and dreams   like a refugee
            Bb          C             F   F F F Fsus4     
Just as her father came   across the sea


F            Bb          C              F
 She heard about a place   people were smiling
                   Bb            C                     F
  Spoke about the red man's ways   how they loved the land
               Bb         C                 F
They came from everywhere   to the Great Divide
           Bb            C                F   F F F Fsus4
Seeking a place to stand   or a place to hide


F              Bb          C            F
  Down in the crowded bars   out for a good time
               Bb          C                    F
Can't wait to tell you all   what it's like up there
               Bb       C               F
They called it paradise   I don't know why
                   Bb           C                     F   F F F Fsus4
Somebody laid the mountains low   while the town got high

F                  Bb             C             F
  When the chilly winds blew down   across the canyon
                    Bb          C             F
Through the canyons of the coast  to the malibus
                  Bb           C            F
Where the pretty people played  hungry for power
               Bb        C                     F   F F F Fsus4
To light their neon ways   give 'em things to do


F                        Bb             C         F
  Some rich man came and raped the land  nobody caught him
                  Bb             C                F
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes and   Jesus people bought them
               Bb       C               F
They called it paradise   the place to be
                 Bb       C                F   F F F Fsus4
They watched the hazy sun  sinking in the sea


Ab                  Db         Eb           Ab
   You can leave it all behind    sail to Lahaina
                    Db         Eb                Ab
Just like the missionaries did    so many years ago
                    Db        Eb          Ab
They even brought a neon sign    Jesus is coming
                        Db         Eb                           Ab Ab Ab Ab Absus4
Brought the white man's burden down   brought the white man's reign


Ab                       Db         Eb                    Ab
  And we'll provide the grand design   what is yours and what is mine
                      Db          Eb                 Ab
'Cuz there is no more new frontier    we have got to make it here
                  Db          Eb                   Ab
We satisfied our endlees needs  and justified our bloody deeds
                Db     Eb                     Ab Ab Ab Ab Absus4
In the name of destiny    and in the name of God


Ab             Db            Eb          Ab
  And you can see them there   on sunday morning
              Db        Eb                    Ab
Stand up and sing about     what it's like up there
               Db       Eb              Ab
They called it paradise   I don't know why
                  Db      Eb              Ab Ab Ab Ab Absus4
To call someplace paradise    kiss it goodbye
