Rose In Paradise Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
She [D]was a flower for [C]the taker
[G]Her beauty would cut you like a [D]knife
He was a banker from [C]Macon,
[G]he swore to love her all his [D]life. He bought
her a mansion on a moun[C]tain,
[G]with a formal garden that he dug by [D]hand.
But paradise became her [C]prison
[G]That George Banker
was a [D]jealous man
[Bm]Every time he'd talk [G]about her
[Bm]You could see the fire in his [G]eyes[A]
He'd [D]say,
I would walk through hell on [C]Sunday
[G]Just to keep my rose in paradis[D]e
He hired a man to tend [C]the garden
An[G]d keep an eye on her
while he [D]was gone
Some say they ran away togeth[C]er
[G]Some say the gardener left [D]alone
Now the banker, he's an [C]old man
[G]That mansion's a -crumblin' [D]down
He just sits all day and he
stares at [C]the garden
[G]Not a trace of her was ever [D]found
[Bm]Now every time he'd talk a[G]bout her
[Bm]You could see the fire in his [G]eyes[A]
He'd [D]say,
I would walk through hell on [C]Sunday
[G]Just to keep my rose in paradis[D]e
There's a rose out in [C]the garden
[G]Its beauty would cut you like a [D]knife
They say it even grows in the [C]wintertime
And it [G]blooms in the day of [D]the night
[Bm]Every time he'd talk about[G] her
[Bm]You could see the fire in his [G]eyes[A]
He'd [D]say, I would walk to hell on [C]Sunday
[G]Just to keep my rose in paradis[D]e
[Bm]Every time he'd talk about[G] her,
[Bm]you could see the fire in his [G]eyes[A].
He'd [D]say,
I would walk through hell on Sunday,
just to keep my rollin' back.
