[Verse 1]
A D B7 Deep within my heart lies a melody E7 A -- A song of old San Antone D B7 Where in dreams I live with a memory E7 A -- Beneath the stars all alone D B7 It was there I found beside the Alamo E7 A -- Enchantment strange as the blue up above D B7 A moonlit pass that only she would know E7 A - Still hears my broken song of love
[Chorus]
E B7 Moon and all your splendor, knows only my heart E Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone B7 Lips so sweet and tender, like petals falling apart E E7 Speak once again of my love, my own A D B7 - Broken song and empty words, I know E7 A -- Still live in my heart all alone D B7 For that moonlit pass beside the Alamo E7 A A7 -- And rose my Rose of San Antone
