Lyrics

[Intro]
| D | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
D
 There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem

[Chorus]
G6
  It is a special one,
it's never seen the sun
It only comes out when the moon is on the run
                      D
And all the stars are gleaming
A
 It's growing in the street right up through the concrete
                       D
But soft and sweet and dreaming

[Verse 2]
D
 There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem

[Chorus]
G6
  With eyes as black as coal
Then look down in my soul
And starts a fire there
And then I lose control
                   D
I have to beg your pardon
A
 I'm going to pick that rose
                                 D     D
And watch her as she grows in my garden

[Chorus]
A
 I'm going to pick that rose
                                 D
And watch her as she grows in my garden
La la la, la la la, la la la la

[Outro]
D
 La la la, la la la, la la la la
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem
