Verse 1:
Eb            C#
  Dear Mother can you 
        Eb
hear me whining?
Eb                C#
  It's been three whole weeks
      F#
Since I have left your
Bb  Eb            C#
home  This sudden fear
            Eb
has left me trembling
Eb             C#
  Cause now it seems that
     F#             Bb
I am out here on my own
        F#          Bb  
And I'm feeling so alone


Chorus 1:
Eb            F#
Pay attention to
the cracked streets
G#             B
And the broken homes
Eb              F#
  Some call it slums
             Bb
some call it nice
      Eb
And I want to take you
F#
through a wasteland
    G#              B
I'd like to call my home  
Eb Bb(hold)     Eb      C# G# Eb C# G#
     Welcome to Paradise


Verse 2:
Eb          C#
  A gunshot rings out at the
 Eb    Eb        C#
station  Another urchin snaps
    F#               Bb
and left dead on his own
Eb            C#
  It makes me wonder 
         Eb
why I'm still here
Eb
  But for some strange
C#
reason it's now
F#              Bb
Feeling like my home
        F#          Bb  
and I'm never gonna go


Chorus 2:
Eb            F#
Pay attention to
the cracked streets
G#             B
And the broken homes
Eb              F#
  Some call it slums
             Bb
some call it nice
      Eb
And I want to take you
F#
through a wasteland
    G#              B
I'd like to call my home  
Eb Bb(hold)     Eb      C# G# Eb C# G#
     Welcome to Paradise

Since I have left your home
