[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

[Verse 2]
         G           C        A7
Deep within my heart - lies a melody
D7                     G
-- A song of old San Antone
         G             C            A7
Where in dreams I live - with a memory
D7                         G
-- Beneath the stars all alone
                        C          A7
It was there I found beside the Alamo
D7                            G
-- Enchantment strange as the blue up above
                    C               A7
A moonlit pass that only she would know
D7                             G
Still hears my broken song of love
 
 
[Chorus]
D                                 A7
Moon and all your splendor, knows only my heart
                           D
Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone
                               A7
Lips so sweet and tender, like petals falling apart
                       D
Speak once again of my love, my own
G      G7          C        A7
Broken song, empty words, I know
D7                           G
Still live in my heart all alone
                 G7   C         A7
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo
    D7                    G
And rose my Rose of San Antone
 
 
[Outro]
    D7                     G
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone
