G F C G Am
Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
F G Am
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
F G C G Am
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
D
That is why i tell the story,
F G
about a woman just like you
C G Am Em
Oh, she's been to Georgia and California and anywhere she could run
F C Dm G
took the hand of a preacher man and they made love in the sun
C G Am Em
But she ran out of places and friendly faces because she had to be free
F C Dm C
And she said I've been to paradise, but never been to me
G F C G Am
Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
F G Am
Cause I have this need to tell you why she&rsquo s all alone today
F G C G Am
I can see so much of her still living in your eyes
D F G
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies.
C G Am Em
Oh, she said I&rsquo ve been to Nice and the isle of Greece where she sipped champagne on a yacht
F C Dm G
She moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and Showed them what she's got
C G Am Em
She's been undressed by kings, and she's seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
F C Dm C
And she said I've been to paradise but never been to me.
G Am Em F C Dm C
C G Am Em
Sometimes she's been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
F C Dm G
She took the sweet life she never knew she be bitter from the sweet
C G Am Em
She spent her life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free, hey lady...
F C Dm C
She said I&rsquo ve been to paradise but never been to me.
Repeat, fade and enjoy
