This is an old hymn arranged for bluegrass. It's in 3/4 (waltz)
As we [A]travel through life with its [D]trouble and strife
I've a [E]glorious hope to seat to give [A]cheer on the way
Soon this life will be o'er and I'll [D]rest on that shore
Where the [E]night has been turned into [A]day
Chorus:
[A]Up in paradise valley (up in the beautiful paradise valley)
By the [D]side of the river of [A]life (of the river of life)
[A]Up in paradise valley (up in the valley, the wonderful valley)
We'll be [B]free from all pain and all [E]strife (from all pain and all strife)
[A]There we'll live in the garden (there we shall live in the rose tinted garden)
'Neath the [D]shade of the evergreen tree (of the evergreen tree)
How I long for the paradise [A]valley [F#m](for the paradise valley)
Where the [B]beauty of [E]heaven I'll [A]see (beauty of heaven I'll see)
Solo: use chorus chords
verse 2:
As I [A]roam the hillside, oh I [D]list to the tide,
As I [E]pluck the sweet flowers that [A]grow in the dale;
A faint picture is there of a [D]land bright and fair
Where per[E]ennial flowers ne'er f[A]ail.
Chorus
[A]Up in paradise valley (up in the beautiful paradise valley)
By the [D]side of the river of [A]life (of the river of life)
[A]Up in paradise valley (up in the valley, the wonderful valley)

[A]There we'll live in the garden (there we shall live in the rose tinted garden)
