[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
G                         D/F#
The rain came down on the tin roof
         C                       D/F#
Hardly a sound was left from the birthday party
C
The kitchen light
      D
Fell asleep
               G  D/F#
On the bedroom floor
G               D/F#
Me and her were talking softer
C
Than all the time
  D/F#
Before I lost her
C              D/F#
Picture sat on top
                G
Of the chest of drawers

[Chorus]
C       D           G
One red rose in the Bible
C                   G         D 
Pressed between the holy alphabet
C                 D
Probably wouldn't believe ya
       G
If you told me
           C
But what I never knew
  D             G    C   D   G
I never will forget

[Verse 2]
G                D/F#
Rainy nights get dark real early
    C
Her dress was soft
        D/F#
And her hair was curly
   C                 D
We danced around the table
              G  D
To the old banjo
G                 D/F#
Rainy nights were made for lovers
   C
We lay there still
D/F#
Beneath the covers
    C        D
And I ain't never felt
            G
Like that before

[Chorus]
C       D           G
One red rose in the Bible
C                   G         D
Pressed between the holy alphabet
C                 D
Probably wouldn't believe ya
       G
If you told me
           C
But what I never knew
  D             G   
I never will forget

[Instrumental]
C  D  G
C  G  D
C  D  G
C  D  G

[Chorus]
C       D           G
One red rose in the Bible
C                   G         D
Pressed between the holy alphabet
C                 D
Probably wouldn't believe ya
       G
If you told me
           C
But what I never knew
  D             G   
I never will forget
           C
But what I never knew
  D             G   
I never will forget
