Rose In Paradise Chords by Waylon Jennings

[Eb] [Db] .
[Ab] [Eb] .
She was a flower [Db] for the taking, .
[Ab] her beauty cut just [Eb] like a knife.
.
He was a banker [Db] for making, .
[Ab] swore to love her [Eb] all his life.
.
Bought her a mansion [Db] on a mountain, .
[Ab] with a formal garden and a lot of [Eb] land.
.
But paradise became [Db] her prison, .
[Ab] that Georgia banker was a jealous [Eb] man.
.
[Cm] Every time he'd talk [Ab] about her, .
[Cm] you could see the fire in [Ab] his [Bb] eyes.
He'd [Eb] say, I would walk through hell [Db] on Sunday, [Ab] .
to meet my rose in [Eb] paradise.
He hired a man to [Db] tend the garden, [Ab] .
even though her body was [Eb] gone.
.
Some say they ran away [Ab] together, some say that gardener left [Eb] alone.
.
Now the banker [Db] is an old man, .
[Ab] that mansion's crumbled [Eb] and died.
.
He sits all day and stares [Db] at the garden, [Ab] .
not a trace of her was ever [Eb] found.
[Bb] .
[Cm] Every time he [Ab] talks about her, .
[Cm] you can see the fire [Ab] in his [Bb] eyes.
He [Eb] says, I would walk through [Db] hell on Sunday, .
[Ab] to keep my rose in [Eb] paradise.
.
Now there's a rose out [Ab] in the garden, [Db] .
[Ab] its beauty cuts just [Eb] like a knife.
.
They say it even grows [Db] in the wintertime, [Ab] .
[Eb] and blooms in the dead of the night.
