Introdução: F    E    Am    

                                                                                  F  
The sun's gonna rise and in my cold green eyes
                  E7  
Is the hell that I?ve been through
Am                                                                                            F  
What I learned tonight, is that this world ain?t right
                     E7                                                    Am      F    E7    Am         F    E7    Am  
And the devil?s got a rose tattoo
verse 2
                                                          F  
Eight-fifty-one, we arrived at the club
                E7                                                 Am  
I was wearing my last good dress
                                                     F  
My man had bet everything he could get
                          E7                                                                    Am  
And I was trying to get us out of the mess
                                                F  
At nine o?clock I made my walk
                  E7                                 Am  
Like a tigress to the stage
                                                                                                     F  
And the people would stand like I was worth ten grand
                     E7                                              Am  
And not singing for minimum wage
verse 3
                                                                     F  
Ten minutes in, they were passing the gin
                     E7                              Am  
And the club became a roar
                                                                                F  
My man was having a ball, but all I recall
                  E7                                                                            Am  
Is his face when he looked toward the door
                                                                        F  
I was going to town when a hush came down
          E7                                                      Am  
The dance floor became a tomb
                                                                          F  
A woman stepped in, she was small and slim
                     E7                                                                            Am  
But her presence filled the whole damn room
verse 4
                                                                F  
My man went pale like a torn up sail
                  E7                                                         Am  
As the woman walked right past me
                                                                     F  
Her dress was grey like a stormy day
                  E7                                                      Am  
And it flowed like a restless sea
                                                                             F  
I went flat on a note, I was watching her throat
                             E7                                      Am  
She wore a necklace of pure jade
                                                                                        F  
And her sleeve hung down off one side of her gown
                          E7                                                      Am  
To show a rose down her shoulder blade
Bridge
                  F  
I lost sight of her and the rest was a blur
             Am  
As I sang and paced the stage
  F  
Eleven-o'-one, I was finally done
                E7  
And I sprung like a cat from a cage
                  F  
He was gone from there, so I searched everywhere
                  Am  
Till I found a girl I knew
                                     D                                                            F  
She said, "He left your show about an hour ago
                  E7                                                 Am      F    E7    Am         F    E7    Am  
With a woman with a rose tattoo"
Verse 5
                                                                                  F  
I walked the street till I was dead on my feet
                E7                                         Am  
And I hit every joint I knew
                                                                                  F  
I heard a man say, "I saw that woman in grey
                                E7                                    Am  
I think her name is Penny LaRue"
                                                        F  
Where she?s been and what?s her sin
E7                                                    Am  
No one in New Orleans knows
                                                                                  F  
All they can tell, is she?s an angel from hell
                  E7                         Am  
With a tattoo of a rose
Verse 6
                                                        F  
I said a prayer, let down my hair
                E7                                                      Am  
I was now in the bad part of town
                                             F  
It was 3am and I followed some men
             E7                                                         Am  
To a club called the Underground
                                                                     F  
I stepped inside, I could feel the vibe
                          E7                                    Am  
There was danger in the room
                                                             F  
And a whole lotta sin, sweat and skin
                     E7                                         Am  
And the smell of cheap perfume
Verse 7
                                                                                                F  
But through the lusty display was a woman in grey
E7                                                    Am  
Smiling like she knew
                                                                                          F  
When she turned around, where her dress hung down
                E7                                                         Am  
Was a shoulder with a rose tattoo
                                                             F  
I saw the love she?d deprived me of
                  E7                                                              Am  
He was standing in that restless throng
                                                F  
When suddenly, he noticed me
          E7                                                              Am  
But something just a-felt all wrong
Bridge
F  
I heard a shout, a knife came out
        Am  
My man got in the way
                  F  
He was dead as a door before he hit the floor
                          E7  
While the band continued to play
     F  
I tried to scream, but like a horrible dream
                          Am                                              D  
There was nothing I could do
                          F  
Time died, a siren cried
                     E7                                            Am      F    E7    Am         F    E7    Am  
I saw a flash of a rose tattoo
Verse 8
                                                             F  
I?m on the curb with a cop named Herb
        E7                                                 Am  
Trying to sort out this mess
                                                                                F  
It?s five-twenty-five, I feel barely alive
                     E7                                                 Am  
And I?m wearing my last good dress
                                                                                  F  
The sun?s gonna rise and in my cold green eyes
                  E7                                 Am  
Is the hell I?ve been through
                                                                                                  F  
What I learned tonight, is that this world ain?t right
                     E7                                                    F      E7    Am  
And the devil?s got a rose tattoo
