G                         D/F#
The rain came down on the tin roof

         C                       D/F#
Hardly a sound was left from the birthday party

C
The kitchen light

      D
Fell asleep

               G  D/F#
On the bedroom floor

G               D/F#
Me and her were talking softer

C
Than all the time

  D/F#
Before I lost her

C              D/F#
Picture sat on top

                G
Of the chest of drawers
[Chorus]
C       D           G
One red rose in the Bible

C                   G         D 
Pressed between the holy alphabet

C                 D
Probably wouldn't believe ya

       G
If you told me

           C
But what I never knew

  D             G    C   D   G
I never will forget
[Verse 2]
G                D/F#
Rainy nights get dark real early

    C
Her dress was soft

        D/F#
And her hair was curly

   C                 D
We danced around the table

              G  D
To the old banjo

G                 D/F#
Rainy nights were made for lovers

   C
We lay there still

D/F#
Beneath the covers

    C        D
And I ain't never felt

            G
Like that before
[Chorus]
C       D           G
One red rose in the Bible

C                   G         D
Pressed between the holy alphabet

C                 D
Probably wouldn't believe ya

       G
If you told me

           C
But what I never knew

  D             G   
I never will forget

I never will forget

I never will forget
