Waylon Jennings – Rose In Paradise (Guitar)

D                         Cadd9
She was a flower for the takin'

G                          D
Her beauty cut just like a knife.

D                    Cadd9
He was a banker from Macon.

G                              D
He swore he'd love her all his life.

D                            Cadd9
He bought her a mansion on a mountain,

G                                     D
With a floral garden and a lot of land.

D                       Cadd9
But paradise became her prison

G                                    D
That Georgia banker was a jealous man

Bm                       G
   Every time he'd talk about her

Bm                              G  A
  You could see the fire in his eyes

D                            Cadd9
I would walk through hell on Sunday

G                          D
To keep my rose in paradise

D                           Cadd9
He hired a man to tend the garden

G                                   D
Keep an eye on her while he was gone

D                        Cadd9
Some say they ran away together

G                             D
Some say that gardener left alone

D                    Cadd9
Now the banker is an old man

G                            D
That mansion's crumblin' down

D                                 Cadd9
He sits all day and stares at the garden

G                                D
Not a trace of her was ever found

Bm                      G
   Every time he talks about her

Bm                            G  A
  You can see the fire in his eyes

D                            Cadd9
I would walk through hell on Sunday

G                          D
To keep my rose in paradise

D                              Cadd9
Now there's a rose out in the garden

G                            D
Its beauty cuts just like a knife

D                             Cadd9
Some say it even grows in the winter time

G                              D
And blooms in the dead of the night
