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.

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.
