[F#] La la la la la la [G] [C#]
[A#] [C#] la
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
La [D#] la la la la la la la la la
[C#] A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
La la la la [C#m] la la la la la [F#]
la
It is [B] a special one, [F#] it's never seen the sun
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
And all the [C#m] stars are gleaming
La la la la la la la la [G#] la la
It's growing in the street, right up through the concrete
But soft and sweet [C#] and [A#] dreamy
La la la la la la la
[C#] la la la
There is a rose in Spanish [C#m] Harlem
[G#m] [C#m] [C#]
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem
[F] [C#] [F#] With eyes as black as coal that look down in my [B] soul
And start a fire there and then I lose control
[F#] I have to bake [C#] your heart
La la [G#] la la la [C#m] la la la la [G#] la la
I'm gonna pick that rose and watch her as she grows
In [C#] my garden
La la la [A#] la la la la la la
[C#]
[B] [C#]
[F#] la
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 [C#] are gleaming
La la la [D#] la la la [A#] la la la la [G#] la
I'm gonna pick that rose and watch her as she grows
In [C#] my garden
La la la la la la la
[C#m] [C#] la la la
There is a [C] rose in [C#] Spanish Harlem
[D#m] [C#] A red rose [D#] up in [C#] Spanish Harlem
[G#m] [C#] There [G#m] is [C#m] a rose in [G#] [C#m] Spanish Harlem
