Paradise chords by Alejandro Escovedo

Chords with lyrics

The recurring "theme" of this song is a back-and-forth picking of E MajorE on the D MajorD string and open BB string.
It falls within the bounds of the E MajorE major chord.


Intro: E-B pluck (denotated later as "E *")


BB              E MajorE *
Did you get your invitation
BB                  E MajorE *
There's going to be a public hanging
BB                    E MajorE *
And the bodies will swing side by side
BB           E MajorE *
And it's just I and I

BB                E MajorE *
Can you hear the hyena laughing
BB                  E MajorE *
As they tear the meat from the bone
BB                E MajorE *
And you look so pretty watching
BB               E MajorE *
The bodies swing side by side

|E MajorE A augmentedA BB D MajorD A augmentedA  x4

E MajorE (mute)            E MajorE A augmentedA BB D MajorD
Did you hear the bells ringing
E MajorE              E MajorE A augmentedA BB D MajorD
Or was that just in my head
E MajorE                 E MajorE A augmentedA BB D MajorD
Thought I heard the angels singing
E MajorE                A augmentedA E MajorE BB
Their wings brush across my face

E MajorE             A augmentedA E MajorE BB
Hear the wolves a howling
E MajorE             A augmentedA E MajorE BB
The crowd it claps for more
E MajorE                 A augmentedA E MajorE BB
And I thought I heard you praying
E MajorE                 A augmentedA E MajorE BB
It's just the closing of the door


CHORUS

E MajorE      E MajorE A augmentedA BB
Going home    x3

E MajorE A augmentedA BB D MajorD A augmentedA x2
