Intro: D
[D]I grew up dirty and I grew up poor
The wolf didn't even hang 'round our door
Not a c[G]rumb to spare and the cupboard b[D]are
And I had the gift of imagination
I could change my situation
Anyt[Em]ime I choose I could always go
Down Paradi[D]se Road
I found a kingdom deep within
A place dream and to pretend
And to prep[G]are for the world out t[D]here
A dream can dress you when you're ragged
Fill you up when hunger's naggin'
I war[G]med my soul when life was cold
On Paradi[D]se Road
Chorus:
[A]Paradise is a state of mind
The sun sh[G]ines warm and all the time
And the r[D]ain don't f[G]low and the w[D]ind don't b[G]low
On Paradi[D]se Road
[A]A place no one can take from me
A p[G]lace of everlasting peace
Where dr[D]eamers [G]go; It's n[D]ever cl[G]osed
Paradi[D]se Road
Instrumental: D-A-G-D-G-D-G-D
[A]Paradise is a state of mind
Do[G]wn the road of life and time
And the fri[D]ends we m[G]eet
Make the t[D]ravlin' sw[G]eet
On Paradi[D]se Road
[A]Sometimes now when the world is mad
I f[G]ind that place I've always had
Ins[D]ide my s[G]oul; It's p[D]aved in g[G]old
Paradi[D]se Road
[D]I grew up dirty and I grew up poor
The wolf didn't even hang 'round our door
Not a cr[G]umb to spare and the cupboard b[D]are
But I had the gift of imagination
I could change my situation
Anyt[Em]ime I choose I could always go
Down Paradi[D]se Road
[D]I grew up dirty and I grew up poor
