Waylon Jennings - Rose In Paradise
Capo 1
DCGDDCG
She was a flower for the takin'
D
Her beauty cut just like a knife
CG
He was a banker from Macon
D
He swore he'd love her all a his life.
DCG
He bought her a mansion on the mountain
D
With a formal garden and a lot a land
CG
But paradise became her prison
D
That Georgia banker was a jealous man.
Chorus:
BmGBm
Every time he'd talk about her
GA
You could see the fire in his eyes
DCG
He'd say, I would walk through Hell on Sunday
D
To keep my Rose in Paradise.
DCG
He hired a man to tend the garden
D
Keep an eye on her while he was gone
CG
Some say they ran away together
D
Some say that gardener left alone.
DCG
Now the banker is an old man
D
That mansion's tumbleing down
CG
He sits all day and he stares at the garden
D
Not a trace of her was ever found.
Chorus2:
BmGBm
Every time he talks about her
GA
You can see the fire in his eyes
DCG
He says, I would walk through Hell on Sunday
D
To keep my Rose in Paradise.
DCG
Now there's a rose out in the garden
D
Its beauty cuts just like a knife
CG
They say that it even grows in the winter-time
D
And blooms in the dead of the night.
