A


Verse 1:
D
Down in the little Mexican town of New Wavo
D                                G    A
There lived a maiden lovely as a rose
G                                          D
Deep was the love of Lisa, the rose of New Wavo
             A                     D    D7
For Johnny Fedavo and he loved her too
G                                            D
They made a vow that they'd always love each other
             A                 D    D7
For them, no other could be so true

Verse 2:
 G
Storm clouds swept in the life of Johnny Fedavo
    G                                   Am    D
The promise of Heaven lasted for just a day
D
God needed someone to brighten his throne
D                                       G    A    D
Lisa was taken and Johnny was left all alone


Verse 3:
     D
That day in the little Mexican town of New Wavo
D                                 G    A
Sadly, a village laid their rose away
G                                         D
Johnny came home but no Lisa was there to meet him
           A                     D    D7
No arms to greet him or hold him tight
G                              D
Johnny prayed alone for God to hear it
             A               D    D7
To take his spirit away that night


Verse 4:
    G
The years passed by and no one saw Johnny Fedavo
    G                                      Am    D
The children grew and people were gay once more
D
One day they found him with hair snowy white
    D                                             G    A    D
The rose in his hand was his message to Lisa that night


Verse 5:
D
Down in the little Mexican town of New Wavo
    D                                        G    A
Two lovers at last their peace with God have found
G                                          D
Deep was the love of Lisa, the rose of New Wavo
             A                     D    D7
For Johnny Fedavo and he loved her too
G                                          D
There in the chapel shadows they both lay sleeping
                 A                      D      A  D
Their vows still keeping and both still true
