Waylon Jennings "Paradise Rose" or "Rose in Paradise"
I posted this on Sept 18th 2010. 
As of this date NO ONE has posted the chords or tab 
for this song properly. I'm no music theorist, but this 
is the way it's done...
[Verse 1]
DShe was a flower for the tCakin'
GHer beauty cut just like a Dknife.
DHe was a banker from CMacon. 
GHe swore he'd love her all his Dlife.
[Verse 2]
DHe bought her mansion up on a Cmountain,
GWith a floral garden and alot of Dland.
DBut paradise became her Cprison
GThat Georgia banker was a jealous manD  
[Chorus]
BmAnd Every time he talked Gabout her
BmYou could see the fire in his Geyes  A  
...and he'd say...
DI would walk through hell on CSunday
GTo keep my rose in paradiseD  
[Verse 3]
(same as verse 1)
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]
(same as verse 1)
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]
BmAnd Every time he talked Gabout her
BmYou could see the fire in his Geyes  A  
...and he'd say...
DI would walk through hell on CSunday
GTo keep my rose in paradiseD  
[Verse 5]
(same as verse 1)
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.
