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
         F                  Bb
I never fight to take someone else's coins
     Dm      Dm7           G        Csus C
And live with fear like the rest of the boys

[Chorus] (x3)
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
