Rose in Paradise
recorded by Waylon Jennings
written by Jim McBride and Stewart Harris

C                        F
She was a flower for the taking
   G7                      C
Her beauty cut just like a knife
                     F
He was a banker from Macon
   G7                          C
He swore he'd love her all his life
 
                               F
He bought her a mansion on the hillside
                                 C
With a formal garden and a lot a land
                        F
But paradise became her prison
     G7                           C
That Georgia banker was a jealous man

                           F
Every time he'd talk about her
   C                          G7
You could see the fire in his eyes
     C                                F
He'd say I would walk through Hell on Sunday
   G7                  C
To keep my Rose in Paradise
 
                           F
He hired a man to tend the garden
    G7                                 C
And keep an eye on things while he was gone
                         F
Some say they ran away together
     G7                      C
Some say that gardener left alone

                     F
Now the banker is an old man
     G7                 C
That mansion's tumbling down
                                     F
He sits all day and he stares at the garden
      G7                    C
Not a trace of her was ever found
 
Repeat # 3
                              F
Now there's a rose out in the garden
   G7                       C
Its beauty cuts just like a knife
                                   F
They say that it even grows in the winter time
    G7                        C
And blooms in the dead of the night
