Paradise Road
Dolly Parton
Album: Hungry Again
Intro:
D MajorD
D MajorD
I grew up dirty and I grew up poor
The wolf didn't even hang 'round our door
G+G D MajorD
Not a crumb to spare and the cupboard bare
And I had the gift of imagination
I could change my situation
E minorEm
Anytime I choose I could always go
D MajorD
Down Paradise Road
I found a kingdom deep within
A augmentedA place dream and to pretend
G+G D MajorD
And to prepare for the world out there
A augmentedA dream can dress you when you're ragged
Fill you up when hunger's naggin'
G+G
I warmed my soul when life was cold
D MajorD
On Paradise Road
Chorus:
A augmentedA
Paradise is a state of mind
G+G
The sun shines warm and all the time
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
And the rain don't flow and the wind don't blow
D MajorD
On Paradise Road
A augmentedA
A majorA place no one can take from me
G+G
A augmentedA place of everlasting peace
D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
Where dreamers go; It's never closed

Inside my soul; It's paved in gold

I grew up dirty and I grew up poor
The wolf didn't even hang 'round our door

Not a crumb to spare and the cupboard bare
But I had the gift of imagination
I could change my situation

Anytime I choose I could always go
D MajorD
