Rose In Paradise Cifras

[Intro]
D   Cadd9   G   D
 
[Verse 1]
D                         Cadd9
She was a flower for the takin'
G                          D
Her beauty cut just like a knife.
D                    Cadd9
He was a banker from Macon.
G                              D
He swore he'd love her all his life.
 
[Verse 2]
D                            Cadd9
He bought her a mansion on a mountain,
G                                     D
With a floral garden and a lot of land.
D                       Cadd9
But paradise became her prison
G                                    D
That Georgia banker was a jealous man
 
[Chorus]
Bm                       G
   Every time he'd talk about her
Bm                              G  A
  You could see the fire in his eyes
 
He'd say...
D                            Cadd9
I would walk through hell on Sunday
G                          D
To keep my rose in paradise
 
[Verse 3]
D                           Cadd9
He hired a man to tend the garden
G                                   D
Keep an eye on her while he was gone
D                        Cadd9
Some say they ran away together
G                             D
Some say that gardener left alone
 
[Verse 4]
D                    Cadd9
Now the banker is an old man
G                            D
That mansion's crumblin' down
D                                 Cadd9
He sits all day and stares at the garden
G                                D
Not a trace of her was ever found
 
[Chorus]
Bm                      G
   Every time he talks about her
Bm                            G  A
  You can see the fire in his eyes
 
He says...
D                            Cadd9
I would walk through hell on Sunday
G                          D
To keep my rose in paradise
 
[Verse 5]
D                              Cadd9
Now there's a rose out in the garden
G                            D
Its beauty cuts just like a knife
D                             Cadd9
Some say it even grows in the winter time
G                              D
And blooms in the dead of the night
