One Red Rose

Recorded by John Prine on the album Storm Windows 1980 Rain came down on the tin roof hardly a sound was left from the birthday the kitchen light fell asleep on the bedroom floor Me and her were talking softer than all the time before I lost her her picture sat on top of the chest-of-drawers CHORUS: ONE RED ROSE IN THE BIBLE PRESSED BETWEEN THE HOLY ALPHABET PROBABLY WOULDN'T BELIEVE YOU IF YOU TOLD ME BUT WHAT I NEVER KNEW I NEVER WILL FORGET Rainy nights get dark real early her dress was soft and her hair was curly we danced around the table to the old banjo rainy nights were made for lovers we lay there still beneath the covers and I ain't never felt like that before REPEAT CHORUS: INSTRUMENTAL: verse chords REPEAT CHORUS ONCE MORE: For the sliding the same formation down 1 fret twords the nut then the chord. The second time I use a walk down by strumming the chord then hit the d string (4th string) open then 5th string 4th fret the form the chord and hit the 5th string 3rd fret not before playing the chord. Going from the Verse to Chorus I use a standard walk from the chord ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
