Rose In Paradise Waylon Jennings
[D]She was a flower for the [C]takin'[G], her beauty cut just like a [D]knife...
He was a banker from Ma[C]con,[G] he swore he'd love her all a his [D]life...
Verse 2
[D]He bought her a mansion on the hill[C]side,[G] with a formal garden and a lot
a land...[D]
But paradise became her [C]prison[G], that Georgia banker was a jealous [D]man!
Chorus:
[Bm]Every time he'd talk [G]about her,[Bm] you could see the fi-er in his [A]eyes...
He'd say,
[D]"I would walk through Hell on [C]Sunday, [G]to keep my Rose in Para[C]dise...
Verse 3
He hired a man to tend the garden, and keep an eye on things while he
was gone..
Some say they ran away together... Some say that gardner left alone...
Verse 4
Now the banker is an old man... that mansion's tum-ble-ing down...
He sits all day and he stares at the garden... not a trace of her was
ever found...
(Chorus)
Verse 5
Now there's a rose out in the garden... its beauty cuts just like a
knife...
They say that it even grows in the winter time... and blooms in the dead
of the night...
