Craig Morgan - Paradise

      
 
 (sing this like the military boot camp songs with no chords) (optional chords)
 (E)                                              
 I don't know why I left (I don't know why I left)
       (C#m)                                              
 But I know it won't be long (But I know it won't be long)
                 (B7)                                        E A E A E A 
 No It won't be long (No It won't be long) Till I get back home
 
 E                                 B7                 E  
 They gave me a green uniform and black boots for my feet
 A             E               F#m               B7  
 Eighteen and wild as hell I thought it would be neat
 A                                E                  A  
 They put me on a plane to some strange and foreign land
          E                     B7             A 
 I said goodbye to mom and dad hello to Uncle Sam
 
 CHORUS:
 open A
 Once I was a soldier not afraid to die
 E                                           
 Now I'm a little older and not afraid to cry
 A                                    B7 
 Every day I'm thankful just to be a-live
 C#m                          E                 A  B7       E  A 
 When you've been where I've been any kind of life is para-dise
 
 E                        B7             E 
 Christmas of '89 was a lonely time for me
 A                 E                         C#m               B7 
 At most it was probably fine but it wasn't nothing like Tenne-see
 A                                         E                   A 
 Never thoght the day would come where I might have to kill a man
 E                                      B7                A 
 Did not sleep a wink that night but we won it for Uncle Sam
 
 Chorus, lead, ending
 ENDING:
 C#m                          E                A   B7       E  A B7 
 When you've been where I've been any kind of life is para-dise
 
 It's paradise paradise (paradise)
