Chords with lyrics

Top of the charts in 1966.

#1.
C#C#
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem.

A augmentedA red rose up in Spanish Harlem.
F#F#
It is a special one..it's never seen the sun.

It only comes out when the moon is on the run
           C#C#
and all the stars are gleaming.
G#G#
It's growing in the street right up through the concrete,
            C#C#
but soft and sweet and dreaming.

#2.
C#C#
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem.

A augmentedA red rose up in Spanish Harlem.
F#F#
With eyes as black as coal, that look down in my soul

and start a fire there and then I lose control,
          C#C#
I have to beg your pardon.
G#G#
I'm gonna pick that rose and watch her as she grows,
   C#C#
in my garden.

(ORCHESTRAL BREAK:)

#3.
F#F#
It is a special one..it's never seen the sun.

It only comes out when the moon is on the run
           C#C#
and all the stars are gleaming.
G#G#
I'm gonna pick that rose and watch her as she grows,
   C#C#
in my garden.
