	C	G7	C
	The postman dropped a	letter in my	door

	F	C
The	address wasn't plain, but I could	see

	F	C
It had	traveled far across the great Pa-	cif-ic

	G7	C
>From My Filipino	Rose across the	sea.

	C	G7	C
	The writing from her	tremblin' hand was	blurred

	F	C
The	paper, it was badly stained with	tears

	F	C
It	read, "They tell me you have wed a-	nother

	G7	C
After I have longed and	waited all these	years."

CHORUS

	C	F
	"But I'm still prayin', that the	tradewinds

	G7	C
Send you	sailin' across the	blue

	F
In my harbor, I've dreamed you'll	anchor

	G7	C
Where your	lonely Filipino waits for	you."

I promised her that I'd return some day

I told her she'd won my heart and hand

I told her a lie, 'cause I was lonely

Far from home, a stranger in that foreign land.

She wrote, "I've watched the driftwood float on by

I've watched the sea roll on its weary way

I've watched the silver sails out on the ocean

Hopin' you might return to me someday."

"The chains of love may never set you free

But thru the years, as mem'ries fonder grow

This broken heart will always wait for you, dear."

It was signed, "Your lonely Filipino Rose."
