Repeat the followng pattern for the entire song, verse and chorus.
Arpeggiate on an electric with chorus, reverb, delay, etc. for a
nice acoustic-type version, a lá Joe Dirt Car. Each line of lyrics is
approximately one time through the pattern. Listen to the CD for
the exact rythym.

One man used his mighty voice to call, was
All for one, and baby, one for all
And bullets rang and he lost his life, was a
Bloody day here in paradise
In paradise it ain't hard to find
Lookin' out your window at the world outside
Paradise, it ain't far away
Here in my head it's just another day
Here in paradise
Paradise
Cardboard boxes line these city streets
Playin' home for the hearts full of misery, and
I got a room with a view that's nice
Just living on the hard side here in paradise
Chorus
Well, baby I was wrong, and I shouldn't have said those things
I should have brought you flowers, love, and wedding rings, now
I walk alone and I'll pay the price
For livin' on the wrong side here in paradise
In paradise it ain't hard to find
Lookin' out your window at the world outside
Paradise, it ain't far away
Here in my head it's just another day (2x)
Here in paradise
Paradise (2x)
And I'm falling for paradise (3x)
