Top of the charts in 1966. 

#1. 
C# 
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 sweet and dreaming. 

#2. 
C# 
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 there 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. 

(ORCHESTRAL BREAK:) 

#3. 
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# 
I'm gonna pick that rose and watch her as she grows, 
      C# 
in my garden. 

OUTRO: 
C# 
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem. 

A red rose up in Spanish Harlem. 
C# 
There is a rose in Spanish Harlem. 

A red rose up in Spanish Harlem...(Fade.)
