[Intro]
A

[Verse 1]
D
Down in the little Mexican town of New Wavo
D G A
There lived a maiden lovely as a rose
G D
Deep was the love of Lisa, the rose of New Wavo
A D D7
For Johnny Fedavo and he loved her too
G D
They made a vow that they'd always love each other
A D D7
For them, no other could be so true

[Verse 2]
G
Storm clouds swept in the life of Johnny Fedavo
G Am D
The promise of Heaven lasted for just a day
D
God needed someone to brighten his throne
D G A D
Lisa was taken and Johnny was left all alone

[Verse 3]
D
That day in the little Mexican town of New Wavo
D G A
Sadly, a village laid their rose away
G D
Johnny came home but no Lisa was there to meet him
A D D7
No arms to greet him or hold him tight
G D
Johnny prayed alone for God to hear it
A D D7
To take his spirit away that night

[Verse 4]
G
The years passed by and no one saw Johnny Fedavo
G Am D
The children grew and people were gay once more
D
One day they found him with hair snowy white
D G A D
The rose in his hand was his message to Lisa that night
