Paradise Rose Chords & Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

[VERSE 1]
[D]She was a flower for the t[C]akin'
[G]Her beauty cut just like a [D]knife.
[D]He was a banker from[C] Macon.
[G]He swore he'd love her all his [D]life.

[VERSE 2]
[D]He bought her mansion up on a [C]mountain,
[G]With a floral garden and alot of [D]land.
[D]But paradise became her [C]prison
[G]That Georgia banker was a jealous man[D]

[CHORUS]
[Bm]And Every time he talked [G]about her
[Bm]You could see the fire in his[G] eyes[A]

...and he'd say...

[D]I would walk through hell on [C]Sunday
[G]To keep my rose in paradise[D]

[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.
