Rose In Paradise Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]She was
a flower for the tak[C]ing
[G]Her beauty cut just like a k[D]nife
He was a banker from Ma[C]con
[G]He swore he'd love her
all a his [D]life
He bought her a mansion on the [C]mountain
[G]With a formal garden and a lot of lan[D]d
But paradise became her [C]prison
[G]That Georgia banker was
a jealous man
[D]

[Verse 2]
[Bm]
Every time he'd talk [G]about her
[Bm]You could see the fire in
his [G]eye[A]s
[D]He'd say, "I would walk
through Hell on [C]Sunday[G]
To keep my Rose in Paradise
[D]

[Verse 3]
He hired a man to tend [C]the garden
[G]To keep an eye on her
while he was [D]gone
Some say they ran away togeth[C]er
[G]Some say that gardener left alo[D]ne
Now the banker is an [C]old man
[G]That mansion's cru[D]mbling down
He sits all day and stares at the [C]garden
[G]Not a trace of her was ever found
[D]

[Verse 4]
[Bm]
Every time he talks [G]about her
[Bm]You can see the fire in hi[G]s eyes[A]
[D]He says, "I would walk through
Hell [C]on Sunday[G]
To keep my Rose in Paradise
[D]

[Verse 5]
Now there's a rose out in [C]the garden
[G]Its beauty cuts just like a k[D]nife
They say that it even grows
in the [C]winter time
[G]And blooms in the dead of the night
