[Opening]
[D]Deep within my heart, lies a [G]melo[E7]dy
A [A7]song of old San An[D]tone.
Where in dreams I live with a [G]memo[E7]ry
Be[A7]neath the stars all a[D]lone.
[verse 2]
It was there I found, be[G]side the Ala[E7]mo
En[A7]chantment strange as the [D]blue up above
A moonlit [D7]pass that [G]only she would [E7]know.
Still [A]hears my broken song of [D]love.
[verse 3]
[A]Moon in all your splendor
Know [E7]only my heart
Call back my rose, Rose of [A]San Antone
[verse 4]
Lips so [A7]sweet and tender
Like [E7]petals falling apart
Speak once again of my [A]love, my [A7]own
[verse 5]
A [D]broken song, empty [G]words I [E7]know
That [A]live in my heart all a[D]lone
For that moonlit path be[G]side the Ala[E7]mo
And [A]Rose, my Rose of San An[D]tone.
[verse 6]
[A] [E7] [A] [A7] [E7] [A] [A7]
A [D]broken song, empty [G]words I [E7]know
That [A]live in my heart all a[D]lone
For that moonlit path be[G]side the Ala[E7]mo
[Closing]
And [A]Rose, my Rose of San Ant[D]one.
And [A]Rose, my Rose of San Ant[D]one.
And [A]Rose, my Rose of San Ant[D]one.
