ONE RED ROSE
Recorded by John Prine on the album Storm Windows 1980
[G]Rain came down on the [D]tin roof hardly a [C]sound was left
[D] [C] [D] [G] [D]
[G]Me and her were [D]talking softer [C]than all the time be[D]fore I lost her
her [C]picture sat on [D]top of the chest-of-[G]drawers
CHORUS: [C]ONE RED [D]ROSE IN THE [G]BIBLE [C]PRESSED BETWEEN THE [G]HOLY ALPHA[D]BET[Db]
[C]PROBABLY WOULDN'T [D]BELIEVE YOU IF YOU [G]TOLD ME BUT WHAT I [C]NEVER KNEW
I [D]NEVER WILL [G]FORGET[C]
[G]Rainy nights get dark [D]real early [C]her dress was soft and her [D]hair was curly
we [C]danced around the [D]table to the old [G]banjo[D] [G]rainy nights were [D]made for lovers
[C]we lay there still [D]beneath the covers and [C]I ain't [D]never felt like that [G]before
REPEAT CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL: verse chords
REPEAT CHORUS ONCE MORE:
For the D Db C in the Chorus I alternate by using a D chord then the Db sliding the
same formation down 1 fret twords the nut then the C chord.
The second time I use a walk down by strumming the D chord then hit the d string (4th string)
open then 5th string 4th fret the form the C chord and hit the 5th string 3rd fret not before
playing the chord.
Going from the Verse to Chorus I use a standard walk from the G chord to the C chord
ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
