Spanish Harlem chords by The Mamas & The Papas

Top of the charts in 1966.

#1.
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
                      C#
and all the stars are gleaming.
G#
It's growing in the street right up through the concrete,
                       C#
but soft and sweet and dreaming.

#2.
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 there and then I lose control,
                   C#
I have to beg your pardon.
G#
I'm gonna pick that rose and watch her as she grows,
      C#
in my garden.

(ORCHESTRAL BREAK:)

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

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

OUTRO:
C#
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem.

A red rose up in Spanish Harlem.

There is a rose in Spanish Harlem.

A red rose up in Spanish Harlem...(Fade.)
