[Intro 1]
[G][D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]In a garden of city streets
I watched her grow[C]ing there
[Am]Pretty as a [D]flower
and the flowers in her own [G]black hair
[D]And [G]the traffic kind of cools it
and it [C]stops for a [Am]while
Just to [G]watch her walk
and [D]smile her pretty [G]smile
And I would know her
even if I'd [C]never heard her name
Cause no [A]matter what they call her,
to [D]me it's all the same
Cause a [G]rose by any other name
is still a [C]rose[Am]
[A]Though I [D]know her
Christian name is [C]Maria
[G]But a rose by any other name
is still a [C]rose
[Am]And my frien[D]d, you know what I mean
the moment you [C]see [G]her[D][G]
Oh, yesterday we touched for the first [C]time
[Am]It was w[A]orth the w[D]ait,
but I felt her cherry lips [G]on mine
And the tears ran down her cheeks
and she whispered, [C]Darling,
I love [Am]you, [D]oh, [G]yeah
Even in the [D]ghetto, dreams [C]do [G]come true
And I wouldn't know her
even if I'd [C]never heard her name
Cause no [A]matter what they call her,
to [D]me it's all the same
Coral [G]Rose, by any other name,
is still a [C]rose
[Am]Though I know [D]her Christian
name is [C]Maria
[G]But a rose, by any other name,
is still a [C]rose
[Am]An d[A] my [Am]frie[D]nd,
you'll know what I mean
the moment you [C]see [G]her[D]
[G]But [D]a ros[G]e, by any other name,
is still a [C]rose
[Am]And my f[D]riend,
you'll know what I mean
the moment you [C]see [G]her[D]
[G]But [D]a ros[G]e by any other name
is still a [C]rose
[Am]And I didn[D]'t know what I meant
the moment you [C]see [G]her
[D]But a [G]rose by any other name
is still a [C]rose
