San Antonio Rose
Words & Music by Bob Wills
sung by John Denver
from Spirit (1976)
A D Bm
Deep within my heart lies a melody
E A
A song of old San Antone
D Bm
Where in dreams I live with a memory
E A
Beneath the stars all alone
D Bm
It was there I found beside the Alamo
E A
Enchantment strange as the blue up above
D Bm
A moonlit pass that only she would know
E A
Still hears my broken song of love
E B
Moon in all your splendor hear only my heart
E
Call back my Rose, Rose of San Antone
B
Lips so sweet and tender like petals falling apart
E E7
Speak once again of my love, my own
A D Bm
Broken song, empty words I know
E A
Still live in my heart all alone
D Bm
For the moonlit pass by the Alamo
E A
And Rose, my Rose of San Antone
