(Intro)
(G)(C)(D) 4X
[G]For thirty years they [C]sang the song of [D]promised victory
[G]but who they?ve fought and [C]who has won didn?t [D]matter much to me
[G]well I see them driving [C]down the streets in their [D]fancy shiny cars
[G]crowds of people [C]to their feet and their [D]faces full of scars
[G]No pleasantries, no [C]luxuries and no [D]little children?s milk
[G]while minister?s wives [C]spent all their lives in [D]China?s finest silk
[G]well my back?s been broken [C]many times but my [D]spirit lingers on
[G]the day it comes my [C]way on freedom?s [D]ship I will be gone
(Chorus)
[G]From hell to [C]para- [D]-dise
I?ll [G]always [C]pay the [D]price
[G]From hell to [C]para- [D]-dise
I?ll [G]always [C]pay the [D]price
[G]This 90 mile [C]trip has taken [D]30 years to make
[G]they tried to keep [C]forever what was [D]never theirs to take
[G]well I cursed and scratched the [C]devils hand as he [D]stood in front of
me
[G]and one last drag from this [C]big cigar and he [D]finally set me free
(Chorus)
[G]From hell to [C]para- [D]-dise
I?ll [G]always [C]pay the [D]price
[G]From hell to [C]para- [D]-dise
I?ll [G]always [C]pay the [D]price
