Tried to
VERSE 1
C / D / G / / /
Amend my carnivorous habits
C / D / G / / /
Made it nearly seventy days
C / D / G / / /
Losin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds
A / / / D / / /
Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays, but at
C / D / G / / /
Night I'd have these wonderful dreams
C / D / Em / / /
Some kind of sensuous treat. Not
C / G / D / G /
Zucchini, fettuccine, or bulgar wheat, but a
C / G / D / G /
Big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat
CHORUS 1
C / D / G / / /
Cheeseburger in paradise

VERSE 2
C / D / G / / /
Heard about the old-time sailor men, they eat the
C / D / G / / /
Same thing again and again
C / D / G / / /
Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead, well it
A / / / D / / /
Reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn. But
C / D / G / / /
Times have changed for sailors these days, when
C / D / Em / / /
I'm in port I get what I need. Not just
C / G / D / G /
Havanas or bananas or daiquiris, but that
C / G / D / G /
American creation on which I feed
CHORUS 2
C / D / G / / /
Cheeseburger in Paradise
C / D / G / / /
Medium rare with mustard be nice
C / D / G / / /
Heaven on Earth with an onion slice, I’m just a
C / D / G / / /
Cheeseburger in Paradise

BRIDGE
// / // /
I like mine with lettuce and tomato
// / // /
Heinz 57 and French-fried potatoes
// / / / /
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer, well

Good God Almighty, which way do I steer for my
CHORUS 3
C / D / G / / /
Cheeseburger in Paradise
C / D / G / / /
Making the best of every virtue and vice
C / D / G / / /
Worth every little sacrifice to get a

Cheeseburger in Paradise! I need a

Cheeseburger in Paradise! I’m just a
C / G / D / G /
Cheeseburger in Paradise!
