(intro)
G A B B G A A A
G A B B G F E D E E E E
(v1)
B A G G
There is a rose in the Devil's garden
B D A A
In shadow it grows alone
B A G G
Many things are dangerous now
B D A A
In this garden we call home
B A G G
Be careful as you make your way
B D D D
Some things are poison to the touch
B A G G
You've spent your life here in this place now
B D A A
You long to run away so much
(chorus)
G A B -F#-A-B-F#-A
My love it is a black rose (my love it is a black rose)
G A B -F#-A-B-F#-A
Held out to you by the hand of fate (held by the hand of fate now)
G A B -F#-A-B-F#-A
And as this dark romance grows...
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.
