(Key Changed from A to G)
G G7 C A7
1) Deep within my heart lies a mel – o - dy,
2) Well it was there I found, be - side the Alamo,
3) Broken song, empty words I know,
D7 G
A song of old San An-ton’.
Enchantments strange as the blue up above.
Still live in my heart all a-lone.
G7 C A7
Where in dreams I live with a mem – o - ry,
For that moonlit pass, that only she would know,
For that moonlit pass by the Al - a - mo,
D7 G
Be-neath the stars, all a - lone.
Still hears my broken song of love.
And rose, my rose of San An-ton’.
D A7 D A7 G
Moon in all your splen-dor, known only to my heart,
A7 Fm G D
Call back my rose, rose of San Anton’.
A7 D A7 G
Lips so sweet and ten-der, like petals falling apart,
A7 Fm G D D7
Speak once a - gain of my love, my own.
(Repeat 3rd verse and finish….)
D7 G
And rose, my rose of San Anton’.
And rose, my rose of San Anton’.
