[G] [A] [B] [B] [G] [F] [E] [D][E][E][E][E]
(v1)
[B]There is a rose in the Devil's[A] garden[G][G]
[B]In shadow it grows[D] alone[A][A]
[B]Many things are dangerou[A]s now[G][G]
[B]In this garden we ca[D]ll home[A][A]
[B]Be careful as you make you[A]r way[G][G]
[B]Some things are poison to the touc[D]h[D][D]
[B]You've spent your life here in this pl[A]ace now[G][G]
[B]You long to run away so[D] much[A][A]
(chorus)
[G]My love it is [A]a black [B]ro[-F#-A-B-F#-A]se (my love it is a black rose)
[G]Held out to you b[A]y the hand of fate (held by[B] th[-F#-A-B-F#-A]e hand of fate now)
[G]And as this dark[A] romance grows...[B][-F#-A-B-F#-A]
G low E
It's not from the sun, but the starlight that's so far away
high E
Above the Devil's garden
[G] [A] [B]
(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 G A B)
(Bridge)
B D A G (4x) F# A
(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.
