(intro) G5 A5 B5 B5 G5 A5 A5 A5 G5 A5 B5 B5 G5 F5 E5 D5 E5 E5 E5 E5 (v1) B5 A5 G5 G5 There is a rose in the Devil's garden B5 D5 A5 A5 In shadow it grows alone B5 A5 G5 G5 Many things are dangerous now B5 D5 A5 A5 In this garden we call home B5 A5 G5 G5 Be careful as you make your way B5 D5 D5 D5 Some things are poison to the touch B5 A5 G5 G5 You've spent your life here in this place now B5 D5 A5 A5 You long to run away so much (chorus) G5 A5 B5 - F#5 - A5 - B5 - F#5 - A5 My love it is a black rose (my love it is a black rose) G5 A5 B5 - F#5 - A5 - B5 - F#5 - A5 Held out to you by the hand of fate (held by the hand of fate now) G5 A5 B5 - F#5 - A5 - B5 - F#5 - A5 And as this dark romance grows... G5 low E5 It's not from the sun, but the starlight that's so far away high E5 Above the Devil's garden G5 A5 B5 (v.2) The fertile soil of poisoned hearts Fed by tears and nighttime rain Under Transylvanian moon Grows the flower bred from pain Death is pure - life is not So ask yourself, what do you want? As for me, well I want you So pick the black rose and let its thorns cut you (chorus) (with out the extra G5 A5 B5 ) (Bridge) B5 D5 A5 G5 (4x) F#5 A5 (Chorus) ___________________________________________________________________ notes: Contrary to belief, this song is in drop d. You can hear the d in the intro. The upright bass doesn't have frets so it's pointless to use the tab method To find the notes, I held down on the fret board until the G registered on the tuner and put a dot with a marker on the side of the neck for quick reference and then again on A to simulate the 5th fret(this was in standard(EADG) tuning before I dropped it.) I suggest watching the video at tigerarmy.com to watch Geoff's rhythm. This was a big help. Listen to the song to catch the slides and fills between notes, remember,this is rockabilly.
