_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ [C] _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ [D] _ [C] _ _
[Dm] _ Logan, _ [Bb] tired of the climate [Am] in Paris, _ [Fm] so critically [Bb] bleak, _
[Gm] _ [D] and his [Am] wife and companions, [Gbm] who thought [G] he was nothing [C] but [F] an [Bb] artistic freak, _
[Bm] _ a most [C] unhappy _ man.
[Dm] _ Logan [Am] _ [Bb] slept without fire in the [Am] winter, _ _ [Db] and dreamed [Bb] about Eve, [Gm] and [Am] the Garden of Eden
[C] [Gbm] until he was [G] sure there was [C] [F] nothing [Bb] left to be, _ _
[Bm] _ until [B] [C] nothing was pleasing. _ _
[A] _ _ [Db] [Dbm] Nothing [Dm] made sense anymore, [F] _ so he took the [Bb] train down to Marseille, [Db] _ and when searching
[Ab] _ for paradise, it's just a [Eb] little farther [Db] on.
[Eb] _ Paradise, [Ab] you know they never miss you till [Db] you're gone.
[Bbm] I got [Eb] no more pearls to throw to [Ab] swine, [Bbm] I cannot turn [Db] this water into wine.
[Gb] This bitter cup you offer [Eb] me does not suffice, _ [Bbm] I'm gonna go down and [Db] look for _ [Ab] paradise. _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [Dm] Logan _ _
[Bb] got on the boat in [Am] Tahiti, _ [Fm] with a [Bb] gargoyle freight, [Gm] _ [Dm] and the thieves [Am] and the hookers were
[Gbm] out to greet [G] him.
[C] He was a [F] hundred [Bb] years too late, _ _ [Bm] _ [B] but he knew he [F] couldn't stay.
_ _ [Db] _ _ Something [Dm] was whispering his name, [F] _ so he sailed [Bb] without a look in life.
[Eb] _ And when [Db] searching [Ab] for paradise, it's just a [Eb] little [Db] farther on.
[Eb] _ Paradise, [Cm] you know they never miss [Ab] you till [Db] you're gone.
[Bbm] I got [Eb] no more time for fools like you, [Ab] I [Bbm] got no more fingers [Db] for the turning of the screw. _
[Gb] I could use some money, [Ab] but I don't need [Eb] your advice.
[Db] I'm [Bbm] gonna keep searching for [Ab] paradise, _
[Db] [Bbm] cause I'm one of pink pinches [Db] of _ _
[Ab] paradise. _ _ _ _ _
[Db] And then when I passed Maria, to the island of [Fm] the moon, [Db] I'd be on Mo' Piti, [Eb] where [Fm] there
was no moon, [Dbm] till [Gb] there were no more [Abm] islands, [Dbm] no [Gb] further places, [Ab] till at last he found [Bb] the
highlands [Ab] of the [Db] desolate _ _ _ Marquesas.
[Fm] Oh, _ _ _
[Db] yeah.
_ [Ab] He _ _ _
[E] finished his [Db] days, [Fm] with his paints and his [Cm] brushes, [Am] _ unconquered and [Bb] savage.
[Eb] His [Ab] canvas [Db] _ ablaze, _ [D] _ with visions [Ab] of heaven.
_ _ [C] _ He was never [Fm] at home in the [Ab] world, but I guess [Db] we're all that way.
[Gb] _ We're searching [B] for _ _ _ [E] paradise, _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ [Ebm] you know they never miss you till [E] you're gone.
[Dbm] How much more [B] of this [Gb] madness can we take?
[Ebm] [Abm] Why can't [Db] they leave our men [E] alone for heaven's sake?
[A] The reason few are chosen is [Gb] cause few will pay the price.
[E] So [Dbm] you gotta keep searching [E] for [B] paradise, _
[E] [Dbm] and you gotta paint pictures [E] of [B] paradise. _
[E] You gotta [Dbm] lose yourself [B] to find _ [E]
[B] paradise.
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _
[E] _ Paradise.
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _
[Dbm] _ Paradise.
_ _ [Gb] _ _ [Dbm] _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
