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
