Intro
D
D
I grew up dirty and I grew up poor 
The wolf didn't even hang 'round our door 
       G                               D
Not a crumb to spare and the cupboard bare 
And I had the gift of imagination 
I could change my situation 
    Em
Anytime I choose I could always go 
           D
Down Paradise Road 
I found a kingdom deep within 
A place dream and to pretend 
           G                      D
And to prepare for the world out there 
A dream can dress you when you're ragged 
Fill you up when hunger's naggin' 
     G
I warmed my soul when life was cold 
         D
On Paradise Road 
Chorus
A
Paradise is a state of mind 
          G
The sun shines warm and all the time 
         D          G            D          G
And the rain don't flow and the wind don't blow 
         D
On Paradise Road 
A
A place no one can take from me 
   G
A place of everlasting peace 
        D      G         D      G
Where dreamers go; It's never closed 
      D
Paradise Road 
 
A
Paradise is a state of mind 
  G
Down the road of life and time 
           D        G
And the friends we meet 
          D         G
Make the travlin' sweet 
         D
On Paradise Road 
A
Sometimes now when the world is mad 
   G
I find that place I've always had 
   D       G          D        G
Inside my soul; It's paved in gold 
      D
Paradise Road 
D
I grew up dirty and I grew up poor 
The wolf didn't even hang 'round our door 
        G                              D
Not a crumb to spare and the cupboard bare 
But I had the gift of imagination 
I could change my situation 
    Em
Anytime I choose I could always go 
           D
Down Paradise Road
