[Verse]
G# C# A#7
Deep within my heart, lies a melo-dy
D# G#
a song of old San Antone.
C# A#7
Where in dreams I live with a memo-ry
D# G#
beneath the stars all alone.
C# A#7
It was there I found, beside the Alamo
D# G#
enchantment strange as the blue up above
G#7 C# A#7
a moonlit pass that only she would know.
D# G#
Still hears my broken song of love.
[Chorus]
D#
Moon in all your splendor
A#7
Know only my heart
D#
Call back my rose, Rose of San Antone
Lips so sweet and tender
A#7
Like petals fallin' apart
D# D#7 E F#
Speak once again of my love, my own
[Verse]
G# C# A#7
A broken song, empty words I know
D# G#
Still live in my heart all alone
C# A#7
For that moonlit path by the Alamo
D# G#
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone.
