John Prine - One Red Rose guitar chord

ONE RED ROSE

Recorded by John Prine on the album Storm Windows 1980

G D C

Rain came down on the tin roof hardly a sound was left

D C D G D

from the birthday the kitchen light fell asleep on the bedroom floor

G D C D

Me and her were talking softer than all the time before I lost her

C D G

her picture sat on top of the chest-of-drawers

C D G C G D Db

CHORUS: ONE RED ROSE IN THE BIBLE PRESSED BETWEEN THE HOLY ALPHABET

C D G C

PROBABLY WOULDN'T BELIEVE YOU IF YOU TOLD ME BUT WHAT I NEVER KNEW

D G C

I NEVER WILL FORGET

G D C D

Rainy nights get dark real early her dress was soft and her hair was curly

C D G D G D

we danced around the table to the old banjo rainy nights were made for lovers

C D C D G

we lay there still beneath the covers and I ain't never felt like that before

REPEAT CHORUS:

INSTRUMENTAL: verse chords

REPEAT CHORUS ONCE MORE:

For the D Db C in the Chorus I alternate by using a D chord then the Db sliding the

same formation down 1 fret twords the nut then the C chord.

The second time I use a walk down by strumming the D chord then hit the d string (4th string)

open then 5th string 4th fret the form the C chord and hit the 5th string 3rd fret not before

playing the chord.

Going from the Verse to Chorus I use a standard walk from the G chord to the C chord

ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
