F5             Bb5           C5
She came from Providence
C5                F5
The one in Rhode Island
F5                   Bb5            C5
Where the old world shadows hang
C5            F5
Heavy in the air
F5              Bb5                 C5
She packed her hopes and dreams
C5          F5
Like a refugee
F5           Bb5            C5
Just as her father came

Across the sea

She heard about a place

People were smiling

Spoke about the red man's ways

How they loved the land

They came from everywhere

To the Great Divide

Seeking a place to stand

Or a place to hide

Down in the crowded bars

Out for a good time

Can't wait to tell you all

What it's like up there

They called it paradise

I don't know why

Somebody laid the mountains low

While the town got high

When the chilly winds blew down

Across the canyon

Through the canyons of the coast

To the malibus

Where the pretty people played

Hungry for power

To light their neon ways

Give 'em things to do

Some rich man came and raped the land

Nobody caught him

Put up a bunch of ugly boxes

And Jesus people bought them

They called it paradise

The place to be

They watched the hazy sun

Sinking in the sea

Ab5               Db5          Eb5
You can leave it all behind
Eb5         Ab5
Sail to Lahaina
Ab5                     Db5        Eb5
Just like the missionaries did
Eb5             Ab5
So many years ago
Ab5                  Db5            Eb5
They even brought a neon sign
Eb5         Ab5
Jesus is Coming
Ab5                      Db5            Eb5
Brought the white man's burden down
Eb5                      Ab5        Ab5 Ab5 Ab5 Ab+
Brought the white man's reign

And we'll provide the grand design

What is yours and what is mine

'Cuz there is no more new frontier

We have got to make it here

We satisfied our endlees needs

And justified our bloody deeds

In the name of destiny

And in the name of God

And you can see them there

On sunday morning

Stand up and sing about

What it's like up there

They called it paradise

I don't know why

To call someplace paradise

Kiss it goodbye
