Spanish Harlem - Ben E King
Intro:
[C] [C]
Verse 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,
And all the stars are [C] gleaming.
[G] It's growing in the street, Right up through the concrete
But soft and [C] dreaming.
Verse 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, and then I lose control, I have to beg your [C] pardon.
[G] I'm gonna pick that rose and watch her as she grows
In my [C] garden.
Instrumental + Kazoo Break: (same rhythm as verse)
[C] [F] [C] [G] [C]
Outro:
[G] I'm gonna pick that rose,
And watch her as she grows, in my [C] garden.
