Capo 4
[Am]We are Children of Paradise when the [G]Lord created us all his work was through
[Am]Then the Children of Paradise did the [G]only thing they really shouldn't do
[C] [G] [Dm] [A7] [C] [G] [Am]
Children of [G]Paradise we started out [Am]there
Full of innocence [G]in our eyes and without a [Am]care
We're Children of [G]Paradise we knew of no [Am]crime
Until one of the [G]meanest lines has changed our [Am]time
[C]It was [G]long ago [Dm]in the early [A7]morning glow
[C]When it all be[G]gan with Adam and [Am]Eve
[C]They were [G]young and free [Dm]And for all e[A7]ternity
[C]They were meant to [G]feel no trouble, no [Am]grief
Children of [G]Paradise we started out [Am]there
Full of innocence [G]in our eyes and without a [Am]care
We're Children of [G]Paradise In search of the [Am]light
That was put out in [G]Paradise And started the [Am]night
[C]It was [G]long ago [Dm]in the early [A7]morning glow
[C]When it all be[G]gan with Adam and [Am]Eve
[C]They were [G]young and free [Dm]And for all e[A7]ternity
[C]They were meant to [G]feel no trouble, no [Am]grief
[Am]We are Children of Paradise when the [G]Lord created us all his work was through
[Am]Then the Children of Paradise did the [G]only thing they really shouldn't do
[C] [G] [Dm] [A7] [C] [G] [Am]
We're Children of Para[G]dise Who didn't o[Am]bey
When we followed the [G]wrong advice We wandered as[Am]tray
We're Children of [G]Paradise In search of the [Am]light
That was put out in [G]Paradise And started the [Am]night
[C]It was [G]long ago [Dm]in the early [A7]morning glow
[C]When it all be[G]gan with Adam and [Am]Eve
[C]They were [G]young and free [Dm]And for all e[A7]ternity
