 Rose in paradise   Song BY Waylon Jennings 

E,D,A  X3
E                        D
She was a flower for the taken
A                          E 
Her beauty cut just like a knife
                     D
He was a banker from Macon 
 A                           E
He swore to love her all his life 
                           D
Bought her a mansion on  a mountain
                                                A                                  E
With a formal garden and a lot of land 
                        D
But paradise became her prison 
                                                A                                     E
That’s cause the banker was a jealous man
 Chorus:
  E                        D
 Every time he’d talk about her
 A                           E 
You could see the fire in his eye’s
                             D
I would walk through hell on Sunday
 A                E
To keep my Rose in paradise
                           D
He hired a man to tend the garden 
                                                A                                  E
And keep a eye on her while he was gone 
                       D
Some say they ran away together
 A                         E
Some say that gardener left alone
                                                                               D
Now the banker is an oh-oh-old man
 A                       E
That mansion is crumbling down 
                                                                                D
Set’s all day and stares at the garden 
 A                          E
Not a trace of her was ever found

 Chorus: 
 E                         D
Every time he’d talk about her 
 A                            E
You could see the fire in his eye’s
                             D
I would walk through hell on Sunday
 A                 E
To keep my Rose in paradise

 E                           D
Now there's a rose out in the garden 
 A                          E
It’s beauty cuts just like a knife 
                                                                                     D 
Some say it even grows in the winter time 
  A                          E
and bums in the dead of the night
