Spanish Harlem:
Sung by Ben E. King.
C
1.There is a rose in Spanish Harlem,
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem.
F
It is a special one, it's never seen the sun,
It only comes out when the moon is on the run,
C
And all the stars are gleaming.
G
It's growing in the street,
Right up through the concrete...
C
But soft and dreaming.
C
2.There is a rose in Spanish Harlem,
A red rose up in Spanish Harlem,
F
With eyes as black as coal,
That look down in my soul,
And start a fire, and then I lose control,
C
I have to beg your pardon.
G
I'm gonna pick that rose and watch her as she grows...
C
In my garden.
REPEAT VERSE 2.
G
OUTRO ADD: I'm gonna pick that rose,
C
And watch her as she grows, in my garden.
C
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem.........
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat!
