E               A
  She came from Providence
B7             E
  One in Rhode Island
                    A
Where the old world shadows hang
B7     B7sus4     E    Esus4
  Heavy in the air
E                 A
  She  packed her hopes and dreams
B7            E      Emaj7
  Like a refugee
E      Emaj7  A6     A   B7             E
  Just as her father came across the sea
 
Esus4
 
E            A
  She heard about a place
B7            E
  People were smilin'
                     A
They spoke about the red man's way
B7                       E
  And how they loved the land
                   A
And they came from everywhere
B7               E
  To the Great Divide
          A
Seeking a place to stand
B7              E
  Or a place to hide
 
Aadd9/E
 
E             Aadd9
  Down in the crowded bars
Badd11           E    Esus4
  Out for a good time
E               Aadd9
  Can't wait to tell you all
Badd11              E      Esus4
  What it's like up there
E                    Aadd9
  And they called it paradise
Badd11         E
  I don't know why
                  A
Somebody laid the mountains low
Badd11               E    Esus4
  While the town got high
 
Amaj7  A6  E  Esus4  Amaj7  A6
 
E/B  B7  A/E  E
 
E                 Aadd9
  Then the chilly winds blew down
Badd11       E     Esus4
  Across the desert
E                     Aadd9
  Through the canyons of the coast
Badd4          E  Esus4
  To the Malibu
E                  Aadd9
  Where the pretty people play
Badd4          E
  Hungry for power
E                Aadd9
  To light their neon way
Badd11                    E   Aadd9/E
  and Give them things to do
 
 
E                        Aadd9
  Some rich men came and raped the land
Badd11             E
  Nobody caught 'em
                  Aadd9
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes
Badd11                       E
  And Jesus people bought 'em
E                    Aadd9
  And they called it paradise
Badd11           E
  The place to be
                 Aadd9
They watched the hazy sun
B7add4           E   Esus4
  Sinking in the sea

  You can leave it all behind

  Sail to Lahaina
                    C
Just like the missionaries did
Dsus4           G   C/G
  So many years ago
G                     C
  They even brought a neon sign
D             G    Gmaj7
  "Jesus is coming"
G                         C
  Brought the white man's burden down
D                         G
  Brought the white man's reign
G                      C
  Who will provide the grand design?
D7                  G
  What is yours and what is mine?
                          C
  'Cause there is no more new frontier
D7               G           Gsus4
  We have got to make it here
G                C
  We satisfy our endless needs
D7                G
  And justify our bloody deeds
               C
In the name of destiny
D7                   G   C/G
  And in the name of God
 
 
G           C
  And you can see them there
D7             G    C/G
  On Sunday morning
G              C
  Stand up and sing about
D7                  G     G/C
  What it's like up there
G              C
  They call it paradise
D7             G   G/C
  I don't know why
                   C
You call someplace paradise
D7            G   Gsus4
  Kiss it goodbye
