Welcome To Paradise

[Verse]

 G                              C

Country’s gone crazy - people are blind

 G                                              C

forced to buy boxes - when there’s no boxes to find

  D

just million dollar lean too’s

                         C

where’s the contract to sign

 Am                            D              G

gotta noose around my neck - but this box is mine



[Chorus]

G                                            C

jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in debt

G                                         C

jippee jippee yeah - hope there is no regret

D                                         C

everybody says - this country is sooooo nice

Am                     D             G

jippee jippee yeah - welcome to paradise



[Verse]

G                                         C

now I am sitting in my box, on Marine Parade

G                                                 C

watching 20.000 cars passing by from morning till late

D                                         C

but I don’t really care, cause the view is ok

 Am                       D                   G

neighbours in his toilet and it’s a beautiful day.



[Chorus]

G                                            C

jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in debt

G                                                 C

got a million dollar home - and hope it was a good bet

D                                         C

everybody says - this country is sooooo nice

Am                     D             G

jippee jippee yeah - welcome to paradise



[Verse]

G                                            C

when I come from work, I like to swim in the sea

G                                               C

gotta put my wetsuit on to avoid the poo and the pee

D                                               C

but I don’t really mind, cause when I close my eyes

 Am                            D                  G

I can dream about a clean blue sea, just like paradise



[Chorus]

G                                            C

jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in shit

G                                            C

jippee jippee yeah - but swimming keeps me fit

D                                         C

everybody says - this country is sooooo nice

Am                     D             G

jippee jippee yeah - welcome to paradise



[Verse]

G                                            C

the rivers and the lakes are looking sadly green

 G                                              C

minister says it’s swimmable but I am not that keen

D                                               C

cause all the farmers cows are dumping in the stream

 Am                            D                  G

and I don’t really want to get sick - if you know what I mean



[Chorus]

So I sing...

G                                            C

jippee jippee yeah - up to my eyeballs in shit

G                                       C

jippee jippee yeah - and I'm so sick of it

D                                           C

cause everybody says - we are so clean and green

 Am                     D                     G

welcome to paradise - now you know what I mean.
