[Verse 1]
EShe came from AProvidence, Bthe one in Rhode EIsland.
EWhere the old world sAhadows hang, Bheavy in the Eair.
EShe packed her Ahopes and dreams, Blike a refuEgee.
EJust as her Afather came, Bacross the Esea.
[Verse 2]
EShe heard Aabout a place, Bpeople were Esmiling,
ESpoke about the Ared man's ways, Bhow they lEoved the land.
EThey came from Aeverywhere, Bto the Great DiEvide,
ESeeking a Aplace to stand, Bor a place to Ehide.
[Verse 3]
EDown in the Acrowded bars, Bout for a good Etime,
Ecan't wait to Atell you all, Bwhat it's like up Ethere.
EThey called it Aparadise, BI don't know Ewhy,
Esomebody laid the Amountains low, Bwhile the town got Ehigh.
( E-  A(2x))  ( E-  B7- E)
[Verse 4]
EAnd then the chilly Awinds blew down, Bacross the Edesert,
Ethrough the canyons Aof the coast, Bto the MaliEbu,
EWhere the pretty Apeople play, huBngry for poEwer,
ETo light their Aneon ways, Bgive 'em things to Edo.
[Verse 5]
ESome rich men came and Araped the land, Bnobody caught E'em,
Eput up a bunch of Augly boxes, Band Jesus people boughEt 'em.
EThey called it Aparadise, Bthe place to Ebe,
Ethey watched the Ahazy sun, Bsinking in the Esea.
( E-   A(2x))  ( G-  C(2x))  ( G- D)  ( G-  C(8x))
[Verse 6]
GWe can leave it Call behind, Dand sail to GLahaina,
Gjust like the missionaCries did, Dso many years Gago.

[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 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.

Who will 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.

in the name of destiny, and in the name of God.
