From Paradise - Archie Roach

G+G E minorEm G+G E minorEm

G+G          E minorEm
She was born in the river land.
G+G         D MajorD        C majorC
Born of her mother into her mothers hands.
G+G          C majorC
She was free as the river was wild.
G+G            D MajorD        C majorC
And she was so innocent, such a beautiful child.

G+G              E minorEm
Then they took her away from Paradise.
C majorC            G+G       D MajorD
Ahh where everything was beautiful and very nice.
G+G              E minorEm
They took her away from her mothers tongue.
   C majorC          G+G       D MajorD         G+G
Then slapped her around a little bit, to teach her another one.

G+G          E minorEm
In and out of ins-ti-tutions.
G+G                  D MajorD          C majorC
What could they do with this child, where was the neat solution.
               G+G          E minorEm
There was nothing they could do, so they gave her to the streets.
    G+G             D MajorD          C majorC
And she joined all the rest of the hungry and the tired feet.

G+G              E minorEm
Then they took her away from Paradise.
C majorC            G+G       D MajorD
Ahh where everything was beautiful and very nice.
G+G              E minorEm
They took her away from her mothers tongue.
   C majorC          G+G       D MajorD         G+G
Then slapped her around a little bit, to teach her another one.

C majorC         G+G       D MajorD  D7D7
And the Pondees they don't swim here any more.

G+G       E minorEm
She met a boy, who kind of knew.
G+G         D MajorD      C majorC
Some of the things that she was going through.
      G+G        C majorC
But he was confused, so he ran away.
  G+G          D MajorD       C majorC
She found him again and here she is today, here in my heart.

G+G              E minorEm
Then they took her away from Paradise.
C majorC            G+G       D MajorD
Ahh where everything was beautiful and very nice.
G+G              E minorEm
They took her away from her mothers tongue.
   C majorC          G+G       D MajorD         G+G
Then slapped her around a little bit, to teach her another one.

G+G         E minorEm     G+G    E minorEm
Took her away from Paradise, away from Paradise.
G+G     E minorEm
Ooh, from Paradise.
G+G     E minorEm
Ooh, from Paradise.

Enjoy!
