    Verse 1
    There 
    is 
    a 
    rose 
    in 
    Spanish 
    Harlem 

    A 
    red 
    rose 
    up 
    in 
    Spanish 
    Harlem 

    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 
    gleaming 

    It's 
    growing 
    in 
    the 
    street 
    right 
    up 

    through 
    the 
    concrete 

    But 
    soft 
    and 
    sweet 
    and 
    dreaming 

    Verse 2
    There 
    is 
    a 
    rose 
    in 
    Spanish 
    Harlem 

    A 
    red 
    rose 
    up 
    in 
    Spanish 
    Harlem 

    With 
    eyes 
    as 
    black 
    as 
    coal 

    Then 
    looks 
    down 
    in 
    my 
    soul 

    And 
    starts 
    a 
    fire 
    there 

    And 
    then 
    I 
    lose 
    control 

    I 
    have 
    to 
    beg 
    your 
    pardon 

    I'm 
    going 
    to 
    pick 
    that 
    rose 

    And 
    watch 
    her 
    as 
    she 
    grows 
    in 
    my 
    garden 

    Interlude 1






    Verse 3
    I'm 
    going 
    to 
    pick 
    that 
    rose 

    Outro 1
    And 
    watch 
    her 
    as 
    she 
    grows 
    in 
    my 

    (garden) 

    La 
    la 
    la, 
    la 
    la 
    la, 
    la 
    la 
    la 
    la 

    (There 
    is 
    a 
    rose 
    in 
    Spanish...) 

    La 
    la 
    la, 
    la 
    la 
    la, 
    la 
    la 
    la 
    la

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      “I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.”

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      “I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      “I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      “Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      “This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!”

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      “It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      “I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
