[Intro] ** Play "|" as strums or beats Bm |||| A | Bm |||| G | Bm |||| A | D | [Verse]
          G          A         D
Tried to amend my carnivorous habits

G              A         D
Made it nearly seventy days

         G             A               D
Losin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds

E                                 A
Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays

       G         A           D               
But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams

G            A           Bm
Some kind of sensuous treat

       G           D         G    D
Not zucchini, fettucini or bulgar wheat

      G         D         A            D
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat
[Chorus]
      G    A         D
     Cheeseburger in paradise

     G         A              D
     Heaven on Earth with an onion slice

     G          A          D
     Not too particular, not too precise

                G     D         A    D
     I'm just a Cheeseburger in paradise
[Instrumental] Bm |||| A | D | [Verse]
 G               A              D
Heard about the old time sailor men

             G              A      D
They eat the same thing again and again

G             A           D
Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead

E                                   A
Well it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn

       G         A           D               
But times have changed for sailors these days,

G                   A         Bm
When I'm in port I get what I need

           G         D         G       D
Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris

           G         D         A      D
But that American creation on which I feed
[Chorus]
   G    A         D
Cheeseburger in Paradise

   G         A              D
Medium rare with mustard be nice

   G          A          D
Heaven on Earth with an onion slice

            G     D         A    D
I'm just a Cheeseburger in Paradise

  G    A         D
Cheeseburger in Paradise

 G         A             D
Makin' the best of every virtue and vice

 G          A            D
Worth every damn bit of sacrifice to get a
