Rose In Paradise

D  C  G  D

[Verse]
D                        C       
She was a flower for the takin', 
G                          D
her beauty cut just like a knife
                         C      G 
And he was a banker from Macon, he
                           D
 swore to love her all his life
He bought her a mansion on a 
C        G                       
mountain with a formal garden and
              D
 a lot a land
                        C       G 
But paradise became her prison, 
that Georgia banker was a jealous 
   D
man

[Chorus]
Bm                     G         
Every time he'd talk a-bout her, 
Bm                            G  
you could see the fire in his 
   A
eyes

          D                        
He'd say, "I would walk through 
     C      G                     
Hell on Sunday to keep my Rose in 
       D
Paradise"

[Verse]
D                                 
He hired a man to tend the garden,
  C   G                           
 and keep an eye on her while he 
   D
was gone
Some say they ran away together, 
C   G                            
some say that gardener left alone
         D

                          C       
Now the banker is an old  man, and
G                            D
 the mansion crumblin' down
He sits all day and stares at the 
C         G                      
garden, not a trace of her was 
   D
ever found

[Chorus]
Bm                     G         
Every time he'd talk a-bout her, 
Bm                            G  
you could see the fire in his 
   A
eyes
          D                        
He'd say, "I would walk through 
     C      G                     
Hell on Sunday to keep my Rose in 
       D
Paradise"

[Bridge]
D                           
Now there's a rose out in the 
          C   G                   
garden, its beauty cuts just like 
           D
a knife
                              C    
They say it even grows in the 
         G                         
winter time,  and blooms in the 
       D
dead of the night
