[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]

One red rose in the Bible
C G D
Pressed between the holy alphabet

Probably wouldn't believe ya

If you told me
C
But what I never knew

I never will forget
C
But what I never knew
D G
I never will forget
