Backside Of Paradise Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 (Intro: E)

EThey say I was born on a stormy night jAammin' Gto the bElues

My mama thought that I was a good luck charm

 But I tAhink that I was toGuched with the hoEodoo

AI must have been a sCwamp doctor's sDacrifiEce

 Cause I'm on the CbacksideB7 of paradEise

All out of rhythm in my snakeskin shoes a victim of the dance

A medicine man gave me something for my nerves

But I think it was an aphrodisiac

Suspended animation with my temperature on the rise

I'm on the backside of paradise

 (Guitar solo: E, A, C, D, E, C, B7, E)

I can look out but I can't see within

Can't face what's behind the mask

On top of the world with you under my skin moving too fast

She's a hot blooded octaroon with a heart cold as ice

I'm on the backside of paradise

I'm on the backside of paradise
