San Antonio Rose

Words & Music by Bob Wills
Recorded by Bob Wills, 1944


E7   E   A  D9  A     A7    D    Bm7  B7
Deep within my heart lies a mel - o - dy,

   E7  D9 E7 Bm7-5       A    Edim  E7
A song of old San An - tone.

 E7   E   A    D9  A    A7     D   Bm7  B7
Where in dreams I live with a mem - o - ry,

  E7   Bm7-5 E7   Cdim  A
Beneath the stars all alone.

 
E7  E   A    D9  A   A7    D      Bm7       B7
It was there I found    beside the Al - a - mo

Cdim  E7    Cdim    E7   Bm7-5    A   D9  A
En - chant - ment strange as the blue up above.

E  A      D9   A  A7       D   Bm7        B7
A moon - lit pass    that only she would know,

      E7   Cdim  E7     Bm7-5    A
Still hears my   broken song of love.


Bridge:

 E      B7        E            B7(II)   B7/9
Moon in all your splendor, know only my heart;

B7(II)       B7/9  B7(II)  E   D9    E
Call back my Rose, Rose of San An - tone.

 E       B7        E           B7(II)         B7/9
Lips so sweet and tender, like petals falling apart,

B7(II)         B7/9  B7(II)    E   Edim E7
Speak once  a - gain  of   my love, my  own.

 
E7  A     D9  A    A7     D   Bm7  B7
A  bro - ken song, empty words I  know 

       E7 Cdim     E7 Bm7-5     A 
Still live in my heart all a - lone

E7   E    A     D9    A  A7     D   Bm7  B7
For that moon - lit pass by the Al - a - mo,  

Cdim E7  Cdim  E7    Bm7-5   A
And Rose, my  Rose of San Antone.
