Just an urchin livin' under the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case
So buy me somethin' to eat
G5 F5 C5 (Strum a bit on C5 with frequent dampning)
I'll pay you at another time
Take it to the end of the line
Play Rhythm A
Rags to riches
Or so they say
You gotta
Keep pushin' for the fortune and fame
You know it's, it's all a gamble
When it's just a game
G5 F5 C5 (Strum a bit on C5 with frequent dampning)
You treat it like a capitol crime
Everybody' doin' their time
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
(Bare)
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
Play Rhythm A
Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here, I can't quite remember
The surgoen general say's it's hazardous to breathe
I'd have another cigarette
F5 C5 (Strum a bit on C5 with frequent dampning)
But I can't see
Tell me that you're gonna believe
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
(Bare)
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
Capitain America's been torn apart
Now he's a court jester
With a broken heart
He said turn me around
And take me back to the start
I must be losing my mind
C5 (Strum a bit on C5 with frequent dampning)
"Are you blind?!"
I've seen it all a mllion times
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
(Bare)
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
(Bare)
Take me down to the paradise city
Where the grass is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please take me home
Strum this part with a very fast pace
I want to go
I want to know
Oh, won't you please take me home
I want to see
Oh, look at me
Oh, won't you please take me home
