This is the correct chord progression for Rose in Paradise. The album version pitch is off a bit due to a very slight
change on the master. If you watch or listen to Waylon play it live, it's clearly in E major, although playing a solo
acoustic version you can also play it in D--which would be D C and G in the main verse. BM leading the chorus.
Rose in Paradise
Waylon Jennings
Verse 1
E D A
She was a flower for the takin', her beauty
E
cut just like a knife...
E D A
He was a banker from Macon, he swore he'd
E
love her all a his life...
Verse 2
E D A
He bought her a mansion on the mountain, with a formal garden and a lot
E
a land...
E D A
But paradise became her prison, that Georgia
E
banker was a jealous man!
Chorus:
C#M A C#M
Every time he'd talk about her, you could
A - B
see the fi-er in his eyes...
He'd say,
E D A
I would walk through Hell on Sunday, to keep
E
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 gardner left alone...
Verse 4
Now the banker is an old man... that mansion's tum-ble-ing down...
He sits all day and he stares at the garden... not a trace of her was
ever found...
(Chorus)
Verse 5
Now there's a rose out in the garden... its beauty cuts just like a
knife...
They say that it even grows in the winter time... and blooms in the dead
of the night...
