The Seldom Scene 
"Paradise Valley"
This is an old hymn arranged for bluegrass.  It's in 3/4 (waltz)      
As we Atravel through life with its Dtrouble and strife
I've a Eglorious hope to seat to give Acheer on the way
Soon this life will be o'er and I'll Drest on that shore
Where the Enight has been turned into Aday
Chorus:
AUp in paradise valley (up in the beautiful paradise valley)
By the Dside of the river of Alife (of the river of life)
AUp in paradise valley (up in the valley, the wonderful valley)
We'll be Bfree from all pain and all Estrife (from all pain and all strife)
AThere we'll live in the garden (there we shall live in the rose tinted garden)
'Neath the Dshade of the evergreen tree (of the evergreen tree)
How I long for the paradise Avalley F#m(for the paradise valley)
Where the Bbeauty of Eheaven I'll Asee (beauty of heaven I'll see)
Solo: use chorus chords
verse 2:
As I Aroam the hillside, oh I Dlist to the tide,
As I Epluck the sweet flowers that Agrow in the dale;
A faint picture is there of a Dland bright and fair
Where perEennial flowers ne'er fAail.
Chorus
AUp in paradise valley (up in the beautiful paradise valley)
By the Dside of the river of Alife (of the river of life)
AUp in paradise valley (up in the valley, the wonderful valley)
We'll be Bfree from all pain and all Estrife (from all pain and all strife)
AThere we'll live in the garden (there we shall live in the rose tinted garden)
'Neath the Dshade of the evergreen tree (of the evergreen tree)
How I long for the paradise Avalley F#m(for the paradise valley)
Where the Bbeauty of Eheaven I'll Asee (beauty of heaven I'll see)
