Waylon Jennings - Rose In Paradise

Capo 1

D C G D

D C G

She was a flower for the takin'

D

Her beauty cut just like a knife

C G

He was a banker from Macon

D

He swore he'd love her all a his life.

D C G

He bought her a mansion on the mountain

D

With a formal garden and a lot a land

C G

But paradise became her prison

D

That Georgia banker was a jealous man.

Chorus:

Bm G Bm

Every time he'd talk about her

G A

You could see the fire in his eyes

D C G

He'd say, I would walk through Hell on Sunday

D

To keep my Rose in Paradise.

D C G

He hired a man to tend the garden

D

Keep an eye on her while he was gone

C G

Some say they ran away together

D

Some say that gardener left alone.

D C G

Now the banker is an old man

D

That mansion's tumbleing down

C G

He sits all day and he stares at the garden

D

Not a trace of her was ever found.

Chorus2:

Bm G Bm

Every time he talks about her

G A

You can see the fire in his eyes

D C G

He says, I would walk through Hell on Sunday

D

To keep my Rose in Paradise.

D C G

Now there's a rose out in the garden

D

Its beauty cuts just like a knife

C G

They say that it even grows in the winter-time

D

And blooms in the dead of the night.

D C G D X4
