Rose in Paradise Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
She was a flower for the tak[C]in'
[G]Her beauty cut just like a k[D]nife[Dm]
[D]And he was a banker from Macon[C]
[G]Swore he'd love her all his lif[D]e[Dm]

[Verse 2]
[D]Bought her a mansion on a mountai[C]n
[G]With a formal garden and a lot a land
[D]

[Verse 3]
But paradise became her [C]prison
[G]That Georgia banker was
a jealous man
[D]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]
Every time he'd talk [G]about her,
[Bm]You could see the fire in
his [G]eye[A]s
[D]He'd say,
I would walk through Hell on [C]Sunday,
[G]To keep my rose in paradise[D]
He hired [Dm]a man to tend the garden,

[Verse 5]
[C]
[G]To keep an eye on her while
he was [D]gone[Dm][D]
Some say they ran away [C]together
[G]Some say that gardener left alone
[Dm]

[Verse 6]
[D]
Now the banker is an [C]old [G]man
And the mansion's crum- ble- [D]ing down
He sits all day and stares at [C]the garden[G]
Not a trace of her was [D]ever [Bm]found

[Verse 7]
Every time he talks [G]about her
[Bm]You can see the fire in his eyes[G][A]
[D]He'd say, "I would walk
through Hell on [C]Sunday
[G]To keep my rose in par[D]adise

[Verse 8]
[D]
Now there's a rose out in the [C]garden
[G]Its beauty cuts just like a k[D]nife
They say that it even grows
in the [C]winter time
[G]And blooms in the dead of the night

[Outro 1]
