The Rose Of The San Joaquin
===========================
by: Tom Russell
written by: Tom Russell & Ian Tyson - Frontera Music/Slick Fork Music

Note: I've listed the chord on the refrain over "Rose" as a Cm.
    I'm not sure if this is correct but it is played the same as a
    B minorBm only on the third fret instead of the second.
