John Gorka - Paradise, Once


INTRO: C majorC  FF  C majorC  FF C majorC

                  FF
These birds don't sing in the rain
                   C majorC
They're waiting for the sun to shine
               FF
But I'm a man and a man-made thing
        A minorAm    G+G
I can sing out anytime


          FF
I can sing in the trees
                 G+G
I'll sing before the rivers rise
          FF
Maybe make you believe
               G-Am
That we were part of paradise
      G+G      FF  G-Am
We could be part of paradise
       G+G      FF   C majorC        FF  C majorC
'Cause we were part of paradise, once

            FF
I don't have any wings
                   C majorC
But there are nights when I can fly
              FF
And I'll give you all of my rings
          A minorAm     G+G
Like I'm the oldest tree alive


              FF
But I can't stand like a tree
                 G+G
And you can cut me down to size
         FF
Even make me believe
               G-Am
That we were part of paradise
      G+G      FF  G-Am
We could be part of paradise
       G+G      FF   C majorC        FF  C majorC
'Cause we were part of paradise, once

            FF
Nothing ever gets lost
           C majorC
Just the pieces move around
                FF
And I can't figure out the cost
               G+G
I know that it will even out


           FF
Without feather or branch
                  G+G
Love brings you closer to the skies
             FF
It can give you back the chance
              G-Am
To be where it was paradise
    G+G      FF  G-Am
To see a part of paradise
    G+G      FF   C majorC        FF  C majorC
