A                            D
As we travel through life with its trouble and strife
       E                             A
I've a glorious hope to seat to give cheer on the way
                                     D 
Soon this life will be o'er and I'll rest on that shore
          E                          A
Where the night has been turned into day


Chorus:

A
Up in paradise valley (up in the beautiful paradise valley)
       D                    A
By the side of the river of life (of the river of life)
A
Up in paradise valley (up in the valley, the wonderful valley)
         B                          E
We'll be free from all pain and all strife (from all pain and all strife)
A
There we'll live in the garden (there we shall live in the rose tinted garden)
           D                      
'Neath the shade of the evergreen tree (of the evergreen tree)
                            A      F#m
How I long for the paradise valley (for the paradise valley)
          B         E           A 
Where the beauty of heaven I'll see (beauty of heaven I'll see)


Solo: use chorus chords


verse 2:
     A                       D
As I roam the hillside, oh I list to the tide,
     E                            A  
As I pluck the sweet flowers that grow in the dale;
                              D
A faint picture is there of a land bright and fair
         E                     A
Where perennial flowers ne'er fail.

Chorus

A
Up in paradise valley (up in the beautiful paradise valley)

A
Up in paradise valley (up in the valley, the wonderful valley)
         B                          E
We'll be free from all pain and all strife (from all pain and all strife)
