backside of paradise chords and lyrics - TONY JOE WHITE

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Em]They say I was born on a stormy
[A]night jammin' [G]to the [Em]blues
My mama thought that I was
a good luck charm
But I [A]think that I was [G]touched
with the [Em]hoodoo[A]
I must have been [C]a swamp
doctor's [D]sacrifice
[Em]Cause I'm on the
[C]backside [B]of paradise
[Em]

[Verse 2]
All out of rhythm in my snakeskin
[A]shoes a victim [G]of the dance
[Em]A medicine man gave
me something for my nerves
But I [A]think it was an [G]aphrodisiac[Em]
Sus[A]pended animation with my
[C]temperature [D]on the [Em]rise
I'm on the [C]backside [B]of paradise
[Em]

[Interlude 1]
[A][C][D]
[Em][C][B][Em]

[Verse 3]
[Em]I can look
out but I can't see within
Can't [A]face what's be[G]hind the [Em]mask
On top of the world with you under my
[A]skin [G]moving [Em]too fast
She's a [A]hot [C]blooded octaroon with
a heart [D]cold [Em]as ice
I'm on the [C]backside [B]of paradis[Em]e
I'm on the [C]backside [Bm]of p[B]aradise

[Outro 1]
[Em]
