Paradise Lane (Feat Tom Morello) by Ike Reilly
When played live, Ike tunes his guitar down a whole step and plays a "D" shape for the C
chord.
This tab is in C like the recording and I find it easy enough to play in standard tuning
with regular
chord shapes.
[Verse 1]
C F G C
Like most towns my town changes still it always seems the same
C F G C
The people and the buildings come and go but the street names don’t change
F G
I was born on Rockland Road and I’ll probably die in the same place
C F
But the street I go to chase all my troubles away
G C
I’m always rolling, rolling rolling down Paradise Lane
[Verse 2]
C F G C
Jake and Max are in high school they got a band and I love to watch them play
C F G C
Saturday night they rolled their van five times and walked away
F G
I never told them my best friend died the very same way
C F
At the same age as his and I aint ever been the same
G C
Jake and Max were rolling, rolling high down Paradise Lane
[Chorus]
F G
Not all good things gotta come to an end
C F
Some roads that we ride got the bumps and the bends
F G
And some folks turn and some go astray
C F
And most get burned cause folks don’t change
F G C
And I’m still rolling, rolling down Paradise Lane
[Verse 3]
C F G C
My friend Tom moved to Hollywood he wrote and wants to finance my campaign
C F G C
Wants me to run for mayor of our hometown and build him a machine
F G
But I was too proud to tell him since he’s got money and fame
C F
That I haven’t paid my taxes much since 1998
F G C
And I got busted twice, once rolling high down Paradise Lane
[Chorus]
F G
Not all good things gotta come to an end
C F
Some roads that we ride got the bumps and the bends
F G
And some folks turn and some go astray
C F
And most get burned cause folks don’t change
F G C
And I’m still rolling, rolling down Paradise Lane
[Solo]
(Like a chorus)
F G C F F G C F F G C
[Verse 4]
C F G C
Sometimes you shine and sometimes you burn
C F G C
Sometimes you get a second chance but most times you don’t get a turn
F G
Well Tom’s band’s van is in the Rock Hall of Fame
C F
And my van is broke down at the Fair Haven Lanes
F G
And Jake and Max they don’t drive no more
C F
Since they crashed up the van they walk to all of their shows
F G
I hope they both get out of this town someday
C F
And they get out quick and they will they say
F G C
I hope they don’t look back and they forget about Paradise Lane
[Chorus]
F G
Not all good things gotta come to an end
C F
Some roads that we ride got the bumps and the bends
F G
And some folks turn and some go astray
C F
And most get burned cause folks don’t change
F G C F
Like me I’m rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling rolling
F G C
I’m still rolling high down Paradise Lane
