[A]
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
[G]
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 [A] are gleaming
It's growing in the street, right up through the concrete
But soft and sweet, [D] and it is
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem [A] A [D]
red rose up in Spanish Harlem
[G]
With eyes as black as coal, that gets down in my soul
And stars that fly up there, and then I lose control
I have to beg [D] your pardon
[A]
I'm going to pick that rose and watch her as she grows
In [D] my garden

In my garden
There [D] is a [A] rose in Spanish Harlem
In [D]
