Dm7 C
A place where a dying river ends
F Bb4 F Bb4
No birds dare fly over Paraiso
Dm7 C G F
No space allows them to endure
A Dm,Dm7,
The smoke that screens the air
G(up) C
The grass that's never there
Bb F
And if I could see a single bird
Bb
What a joy
F Bb
I try to write some words and create
Dm Dm7
A single song to be heard
G C-pause
By the rest of the world
F Bb4 F Bb4
I live in this land called Paraiso
Dm7 C
In a house made of cardboard floors and walls
F Bb4 F Bb4
I learned to be free in Paraiso
Dm7 C G F
Free to claim anything I see
A Dm,Dm7
Matching rags for my clothes
G(up) C
Plastic bags for the cold
Bb F
And if empty cans were all I have
Bb
What a joy
F Bb
I never fight to take someone else's coins
Dm Dm7 G Csus-C-pause
And live with fear like the rest of the boys
[Chorus]
F C,C,BbM7 F
Pa-ra-i-so, help me make a stand
F C,C,BbM7 F
Pa-ra-i-so, take me by the hand
F C,C,BbM7 Dm Dm7 G
Pa-ra-i-so, make the world understand
Bb4 F
And if I could see a single bird
Bb
What a joy
F Bb
This tired and hungry land could expect
Dm Dm7
Some truth and hope and respect
G C F
From the rest of the world
[Verse]
Bb F
And if empty cans were all I have
Bb
What a joy

I never fight to take someone else's coins

And live with fear like the rest of the boys

What a joy
