Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Riff 1

Verse

 Everybody wants a piece of paradise

 A house upon a hill with a view of heaven

 Now everyone's here so close together

 Paradise is lost and gone forever

Chorus

 When we were young we used to walk out in those fields

 And run forever in the backyard woods

 Now the old trails disappear in neighborhoods

D Riff 1

With streets after what's gone for good

Verse

The hills above town used to be the best place

For starry eyed lovers and inspiration

Now it's all paved

Every street's a dead end

And empty summer houses stand all along them

Chorus

 Now there's no trespassing

 There's no going back again

 I only hope you remember

 The way it was, what we had back then

Chorus

Verse

Everybody wants a piece of paradise

A house up on the hill with a view of heaven
