E             A           B
She came from Providence
B                E
The one in Rhode Island
E                   A             B
Where the old world shadows hang
B            E
Heavy in the air
E              A                  B
She packed her hopes and dreams
B          E
Like a refugee
E           A             B
Just as her father came
B          E        E E E Esus4
Across the sea


E            A           B
She heard about a place
B           E  
People were smiling
E               A               B
Spoke about the red man's ways
B	      E
How they loved the land
E              A 	   B
They came from everywhere
B	     E
To the Great Divide
E	  A		  B
Seeking a place to stand
B	      E		E E E Esus4
Or a place to hide

E	    A		  B
Down in the crowded bars
B	    E
Out for a good time
E	      A		    B
Can't wait to tell you all
B	         E
What it's like up there
E              A           B
They called it paradise
B	     E
I don't know why
E		  A		 B
Somebody laid the mountains low
B	           E
While the town got high


E E E E Esus4
C#m C#m C#m C#m C#m
E E E E Esus4
C#m C#m C#m C#m C#m

E		A		B
When the chilly winds blew down
B	     E
Across the dessert
E		    A		 B
Through the canyons of the coast
B	    E
To the malibus
E		 A		B
Where the pretty people played
B            E
Hungry for power
E		A	   B
To light their neon ways
B		   E
Give 'em things to do

E		       A		B
Some rich man came and raped the land
B	  E
Nobody caught him
E		      A      B
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes
B		 E	
And Jesus people bought them
E		A	B
They called it paradise
B	     E
The place to be
E		  A	  B
They watched the hazy sun
B		E   E E E Esus4
Sinking in the sea

G               C            D
We can leave it all behind
D          G
Sail to Lahaina
G                     C        D
Just like the missionaries did
D              G
So many years ago
G                   C             D
They even brought a neon sign
D          G
Jesus is Coming
G                       C             D
Brought the white man's burden down
D                       G        G G G G
Brought the white man's reign

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

G           C               D
And you can see them there
D          G
On sunday morning
G            C              D
Stand up and sing about
D                 G
What it's like up there
G              C              D
They called it paradise
D            G
I don't know why
G                 C              D
To call someplace paradise
D           G
Kiss it goodbye
