	F	Bb	C
	She came from	Providence

	C	F
	The one in Rhode	Island

	F	Bb	C
	Where the old world	shadows hang

	C	F
	Heavy in the	air

	F	Bb	C
	She packed her	hopes and dreams

	C	F
	Like a refu	gee

	F	Bb	C
	Just as her	father came

	C	F	F	F	F	F+
	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

	F	F	F	F	F+
	Dm	D	m	Dm	Dm Dm*

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

(Key Change: changes from F to Ab)

	Ab	Db	Eb
	You can leave it	all behind

	Eb	Ab
	Sail to Lah	aina

	Ab	Db	Eb
	Just like the missionar	ies did

	Eb	Ab
	So many years a	go

	Ab	Db	Eb
	They even brought a	neon sign

	Eb	Ab
	Jesus is Co	ming

	Ab	Db	Eb
	Brought the white man's	burden down

	Eb	Ab	Ab	Ab	Ab	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

"I wanna find myself a girl

Who can show me what laughter means

And we'll fill in the missing numbers

In each others paint-by-number dreams" -- Jackson Browne
