(ver. 1)
Waylon Jennings
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
