[C] There is a rose in Spanish Harlem, 

A red rose up in Spanish Harlem. 

[F] It is a special one, it's never seen the sun, 

It only comes out when the moon is on the run, 

And all the stars are  

[C] gleaming. 

[G] It's growing in the street, 

Right up through the concrete... 

But soft and  

[C] dreaming. 

[C] There is a rose in Spanish Harlem, 

A red rose up in Spanish Harlem. 

[F] With eyes as black as coal, 

That look down in my soul, 

And start a fire, and then I lose control, 

I have to beg your  

[C] pardon. 

[G] I'm gonna pick that rose and watch her as she grows... 

In my  

[C] garden. 

REPEAT 

OUTRO 

[G] I'm gonna pick that rose and watch her as she grows... 

In my  

[C] garden. 

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem.........
