(E)                         (A)(F#)  
Deep within my heart lies a melody,  
  (B7)              (E)  
A song of old San Antone,  
                             (A)(F#)  
Where in dreams I live with a memory,  
  (B7)                 (E)  
Beneath the stars all alone.  
                             (A)       (F#)  
Well, it was there I found beside the Alamo  
  (B7)                     (E)  
Enchantment strange as the blue up above,  
                           (A)           (F#)  
For that moonlit pass that only he would know  
    (B7)                      (E)  
Still hears my broken song of love.  


(B)                              (F#)  
Moon in all your splendor, known only to my heart,  
                          (B)  
Call back my rose, rose of San Antone!  
                              (F#)  
Lips so sweet and tender, like petals fallin apart,  
                       (B)     (B7)  
Speak once again of my love, my own.  

(E)               (A)      (F#)  
Broken song, empty words I know  
   (B7)                     (E)  
Still live in my heart all alone,  
                            (A)(F#)  
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo,  
   (B7)                   (E)  
And rose my rose of San Antone!  

Instrumental  (B) (F#) (B) (F#) (B) B7

Broken song, empty words I know  
    (B7)                    (E)  
Still live in my heart all alone,  
                            (A)(F#)  
For that moonlit pass by the Alamo,  
   (B7)                   (E)  
And rose my rose of San Antone!  
   (B7)                   (E)  
And rose my rose of San Antone!  
   (B7)                   (E)
