That makes me Gride that railroad DtrackD7  
It's my Ambaby's kiss that Ckeeps me coming Gback
It's my Cbaby's kiss that Dkeeps me coming Gback

It's paradise to me

Am C G D

It's not because it is the grand old seat

Of precious freedom and democracy

no, no, no

The scenery circling the Mall

It's just that's where my baby lives

That's all.

It's the greatest place to be

It ain't no famous name on a golden plaque
