Ron Hynes - Cryers Paradise Chords

[Intro]
C F x4
 
[Verse]
      C                      F         C                  F
Still got my high school jacket, still got my high school ring,
              C            F                    C            F
Tucked in the corner of my wallet is a tattered photo of the king.
    C             F            C              F
Yet I.... have to cry, starin' back at silent eyes,
        C                  F              C           F
I saw a star burn out last night, saw the cryer's paradise, yes I did.
 
[Break]
C F x4
 
[Verse]
      C                 F                 C               F
I got stumblin' blind ambition, couple of cards I haven't played,
        C             F             C               F
I got a gambler's intuition, I know when I stay too late.
      C  Bb     F            C              F
Yet I ha-ave to cry, starin' back at silent eyes,
         C              F               C           F
Where do gamblers go to die? They go to cryer's paradise.
 
[Chorus]
          Bb                               Gm
When that man from Memphis left us, we'd already turned our backs,
         Bb                                 F               C
He was a heartbroke hotel exile, that's the cold and lonely facts.
 
[Verse]
        C           F                  C                F
And the whole world greaved, I saw the whole thing on T.V.,
      C                F                  C                F
Now I ask that eternal question, does the darkness grant release?
      C  Bb     F           C              F
Yet I ha-ave to cry, as his motorcade goes by,
         C          F           C           F
Takin' a sad lonely boy, off to cryer's paradise.
 
[Verse]
      C                     F           C                  F
I got demons bound to daunt me, I got a ghost from a scary show,
      C               F                   C              F
I got bad mistakes to haunt me, 'till I'm just a ghost myself.
      C  Bb     F            C              F
Yet I ha-ave to cry, starin' back at silent eyes,
        C             F                 C           F
Must my heart be crucified, to get into cryer's paradise.

[Outro]
      C  Bb     F            C              F
Yes I ha-ave to cry, starin' back at silent eyes,
        C             F                 C           F
Must my heart be crucified, to get into cryer's paradise.

       Woo hoo hoooooo.
