[D]Deep within my heart, lies a [G]melo[E7]dy A [A7]song of old San An[D]tone. Where in dreams I live with a [G]memo[E7]ry Be[A7]neath the stars all a[D]lone.

It was there I found, be[G]side the Ala[E7]mo En[A7]chantment strange as the [D]blue up above A moonlit [D7]pass that [G]only she would [E7]know. Still [A]hears my broken song of [D]love.

[A]Moon in all your splendor Know [E7]only my heart Call back my rose, Rose of [A]San Antone

Lips so [A7]sweet and tender Like [E7]petals falling apart Speak once again of my [A]love, my [A7]own

A [D]broken song, empty [G]words I [E7]know That [A]live in my heart all a[D]lone For that moonlit path be[G]side the Ala[E7]mo And [A]Rose, my Rose of San An[D]tone.

[A] [E7] [A] [A7] [E7] [A] [A7] A [D]broken song, empty [G]words I [E7]know That [A]live in my heart all a[D]lone For that moonlit path be[G]side the Ala[E7]mo

And [A]Rose, my Rose of San Ant[D]one. And [A]Rose, my Rose of San Ant[D]one. And [A]Rose, my Rose of San Ant[D]one.
