Eagles – The Last Resort (Guitar)

E             A           B                E
She came from Providence, the one in Rhode Island.

E                    A            B            E
Where the old world shadows hang, heavy in the air.

E              A                 B          E
She packed her hopes and dreams, like a refugee.

E           A            B          E
Just as her father came, across the sea.

E         A              B           E
She heard about a place, people were smiling,

E               A               B         E
Spoke about the red man's ways, how they loved the land.

E              A           B              E
They came from everywhere, to the Great Divide,

E         A               B             E       
Seeking a place to stand, or a place to hide.

E           A             B              E
Down in the crowded bars, out for a good time,

E             A             B                 E
can't wait to tell you all, what it's like up there.

E              A         B            E
They called it paradise, I don't know why,

E                 A              B                  E
somebody laid the mountains low, while the town got high.

E                   A                B          E
And then the chilly winds blew down, across the desert,

E                   A             B          E
through the canyons of the coast, to the Malibu,

E                A              B          E
Where the pretty people play, hungry for power,

E              A         B                  E 
To light their neon ways, give 'em things to do.

E                      A               B             E
Some rich men came and raped the land, nobody caught 'em,

E                 A           B                     E
put up a bunch of ugly boxes, and Jesus people bought 'em.

E              A         B            E
They called it paradise, the place to be,

E                A         B              E
they watched the hazy sun, sinking in the sea.

G               C           D           G
We can leave it all behind, and sail to Lahaina,

G                     C         D             G
just like the missionaries did, so many years ago.

G                   C           D        G
They even brought a neon sign, “Jesus is coming”,

G                       C            D                       G
brought the white man's burden down, brought the white man's reign.

G                     C             D                 G
Who will provide the grand design, what is yours and what is mine,

G                     C             D              G
'cuz there is no more new frontier, we have got to make it here.

G                C              D                 G
We satisfy our endless needs, and justify our bloody deeds,

G              C        D                  G   
in the name of destiny, and in the name of God.

    G       C               D         G
And you can see them there, on Sunday morning,

G                 C           D                 G
they stand up and sing about, what it's like up there.

G              C         D            G
They called it paradise, I don't know why

G                 C         D       G
Call someplace paradise, kiss it goodbye.
