There is a rose in Spanish Harlem.

A red rose up in Spanish Harlem.
F#5
It is a special one..it's never seen the sun.

It only comes out when the moon is on the run
                      C#5
and all the stars are gleaming.
G#5
It's growing in the street right up through the concrete,
                       C#5
but soft and sweet and dreaming.

F#5
With eyes as black as coal, that look down in my soul

and start a fire there and then I lose control,
                   C#5
I have to beg your pardon.
G#5
I'm gonna pick that rose and watch her as she grows,
      C#5
in my garden.
