(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.
