[Chorus]
D
We are Children of Paradise
         C
When the Lord created us, all his work was through
D
Then the Children of Paradise
        C                                    D
Did the only thing they really shouldn't do

[Verse 1]
            C
Children of Paradise
               D
We started out there
                  C
Full of innocence in our eyes
              D
And without a care

[Verse 2]
                  C
We're Children of Paradise
              D
We knew of no crime
                 C
Until one of the meanest lies
            D
Has changed  our time

[Bridge]
F        C
  It was long ago
G              D
  In the early morning glow
F               C
  When it all began
              D
With Adam and Eve
F           C
  They were young and free
G              D
  And for all eternity
F                    C
  They were meant to feel
               D
No trouble, no grief

[Verse 3]
            C
Children of Paradise
               D
We started out there
                  C
Full of innocence in our eyes
              D
And without a care

[Verse 4]
                  C
We're Children of Paradise
                 D
In search of the light
                    C
That was put out in Paradise
                D
And started the night

[Verse 5]
                  C
We're Children of Paradise
            D
Who didn't obey
                     C
When we followed the wrong advice
               D
We wandered astray

[Verse 6]
                  C
We're Children of Paradise
                 D
In search of the light

  And for all eternity
