She was a flower for the takin', her beauty cut just like a knife

And he was a banker from Macon, he swore to love her all his life
D              Dsus           C        G                                  D
He bought her a mansion on a mountain, with a formal garden and a lot a land
D            Dsus        C       G                                 Dstyle='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>
But paradise became her prison, that Georgia banker was a jealous manstyle='font-size:1px;color:#ffffff;'>

Every time he'd talk a-bout her, you could see the fire in his eyes
           D                    Dsus     C      G                     D   hold
He'd say, "I would walk through Hell on Sunday, to keep my Rose in Paradise"

 
D               Dsus        C       G                                 D
He hired a man to tend the garden, and keep an eye on her while he was gone
D            Dsus        C        G                          D
Some say they ran away together, some say that gardener left alone
D              Dsus       C        G                         D
Now the banker is an old  man, and the mansion's crumblin' down
D                Dsus             C       G                           D
He sits all day and stares at the garden, not a trace of her was ever found


Bm                     G         Bm                            G     A
Every time he'd talk a-bout her, you could see the fire in his eyes
           D                    Dsus     C      G                     D   hold
He'd say, "I would walk through Hell on Sunday, to keep my Rose in Paradise"


D                 Dsus         C        G                          D
Now there's a rose out in the garden, its beauty cuts just like a knife
 D           Dsus                C          G                            D
They say it even grows in the winter time, and blooms in the dead of the night
