Paradise chords by Alejandro Escovedo

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


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


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

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

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

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


CHORUS

E            E A B
Going home       x3

E A B D A  x2
