[Verse 1]
E
Adam was a man
A E
Just like you or me
B A E
He did not do what he's supposed to
A E
And he cries internally

[Chorus]
C#m E
There's horror in Paradise
B E
In the garden of delight
C#m E
Where sorrow can paralyze
B E
The will to want the right

[Verse 2]
E
Eve was a woman
A E
Just like you or me
B A E
She did not do what she's supposed to
A E
And she cries eternally

[Chorus]
C#m E
There's trouble in Paradise
B E
In the pathways of delight
C#m E
Where the rubble blocks the road of life
B E
There's no light to light in the night

[Verse 3]
E
What about that snake?
E
Oh, snake was an animal
A E
Almost like you or me
B A E
He said to do what we're not supposed to
A E
And he lies so reasonably

[Chorus]
C#m E
Because there's madness in Paradise
B E
The asylum of delight
C#m E
And gladness breaks no morning light
