Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4
            [Verse 1]

E             A           B                E
She came from Providence, the one in Rhode Island.
E                    A            B            E
Where the old world shadows hang, heavy in the air.
E              A                 B          E
She packed her hopes and dreams, like a refugee.
E           A            B          E
Just as her father came, across the sea.

[Verse 2]

E         A              B           E
She heard about a place, people were smiling,
E               A               B         E
Spoke about the red man's ways, how they loved the land.
E              A           B              E
They came from everywhere, to the Great Divide,
E         A               B             E       
Seeking a place to stand, or a place to hide.
 
[Verse 3]
E           A             B              E
Down in the crowded bars, out for a good time,
E             A             B                 E
can't wait to tell you all, what it's like up there.
E              A         B            E
They called it paradise, I don't know why,
E                 A              B                  E
somebody laid the mountains low, while the town got high.
 
(E - A (2x))  (E - B7 - E)
 

[Verse 4]
E                   A                B          E
And then the chilly winds blew down, across the desert,
E                   A             B          E
through the canyons of the coast, to the Malibu,
E                A              B          E
Where the pretty people play, hungry for power,
E              A         B                  E 
To light their neon ways, give 'em things to do.
 

[Verse 5]
E                      A               B             E
Some rich men came and raped the land, nobody caught 'em,
E                 A           B                     E
put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus people bought 'em.
E              A         B            E
They called it paradise, the place to be,
E                A         B              E
they watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea.
 
(E - A  (2x))  (G - C (2x))  (G - D)  (G - C (8x))
 

[Verse 6]

G               C           D           G
We can leave it all behind, and sail to Lahaina,
G                     C         D             G
just like the missionaries did, so many years ago.
G                   C           D        G
They even brought a neon sign, “Jesus is coming”,
G                       C            D                       G
brought the white man's burden down, brought the white man's reign.
 

[Verse 7]
G                     C             D                 G
Who will provide the grand design, what is yours and what is mine,
G                     C             D              G
'cuz there is no more new frontier, we have got to make it here.
G                C              D                 G
We satisfy our endless needs, and justify our bloody deeds,
G              C        D                  G   
in the name of destiny, and in the name of God.
 

[Verse 8]
    G       C               D         G
And you can see them there, on Sunday morning,
G                 C           D                 G
they stand up and sing about, what it's like up there.
G              C         D            G
They called it paradise, I don't know why
G                 C         D       G
Call someplace paradise, kiss it goodbye.
