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
