Waylon Jennings - Paradise Rose

waylon jennings “paradise rose” or “rose in paradise”

i posted this on sept 18th 2010 .
as of this date no one has posted the chords or tab
for this song properly . i’m no music theorist , but this
is the way it’s done . . .

verse 1
D C
she was a flower for the takin’
G D
her beauty cut just like a knife .
D C
he was a banker from macon .
G D
he swore he’d love her all his life .

verse 2
D C
he bought her mansion up on a mountain ,
G D
with a floral garden and alot of land .
D C
but paradise became her prison
G D
that georgia banker was a jealous man

chorus
Bm G
and every time he talked about her
Bm G A
you could see the fire in his eyes

. . . and he’d say . . .

D C
i would walk through hell on sunday
G D
to keep my rose in paradise

verse 3
he hired a man to tend the garden
and keep an eye on her while he was gone
some say they ran away together
some say that gardener left alone

verse 4
now that banker he’s an old man
that mansions crumblin’ down
he sits all day and stares at the garden
not a trace of her was ever found

chorus

verse 5
now there’s a rose out in the garden
it’s beauty cuts just like a knife
some say it even grows in the winter time
and blooms in the dead of the night

i like to repeat the chorus again at the end , but waylon doesn’t do it this a way . enjoy .
