Paradise Road chords by Dolly Parton

Paradise Road
Dolly Parton
Album: Hungry Again

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
