Deep with (C)in my (C7)heart lies a (F)mel o (D7)dy, a (G7)song of old San (G)An (C)tone.

Where in (C)dreams I (C7)live with a (F)mem o (D7)ry, be (G7)neath the old San (G)An (C)tone.

Where in stars all a (C)lone.

It was there I (C7)found be (F)side the Al a (D7)mo, en (G7)chant ment strange as the (C)blue up a bove.

A moon lit (C7)pass that (F)on ly she would (D7)know, still (G7)hears my strange as the (C)blue up a bove.

A bro ken song of (C)love.

(G)Moon in all your splen dor, know (D7)on fal ly my heart,

call back my Rose, Rose of (G)San An tone.

(G)Lips so sweet and ten der, like (D7)petals fal ling a part,

speak once a gain of my (G)San An tone.

(G)love, my (G7)own.

(C)Bro ken (C7)song, emp ty (F)words I (D7)know still (G7)live in my heart all (G)a (C)lone,

for that moon lit (C7)pass by the (F)Al a (D)mo, and (G7)Rose, my Rose of San An (C)tone.
