MacArthur Park Richard Harris
[Em]Spring was never waiting for us, g[G]irl;
It ran one step ah[F]ead as we followed in the [Am]dance[F] [Am] [C] [C/B]
Bet[Em]ween the parted pages and were pr[G]essed,
In love's hot, fevered ir[F]on like a striped pair of p[Am]ants.[F] [Am] [C] [C/B]
Refrain:
MacA[D]rthur's Park is[Dsus4] mel - [D]ting [D9]in t[D]he d[DM7]ark
All the[DM7sus4] sweet, g[DM7]reen[Dm7/9] ic - i[D]ng fl[D7]owing down...
[G]Someone left the c[Am7]ake out [D9]in the r[G]ain
[Em7] I [A7]don't th[D]ink that I can [A7]take it
'Cause it [Em7]took so long to [F#m7]bake it
And I'll [Bm7]never have that [Bm7/E]recipe ag[G]ain[G/F#] Oh, [F]no![D7]
[Em]I recall the yellow cotton dr[G]ess
Foaming like a w[F]ave on the ground around your [Am]knees[F] [Am] [C] [C/B]
The [Em]birds, like tender babies in your h[G]ands
And the o[F]ld men playing checkers by the tr[Am]ees.[F] [Am] [C] [C/B]
Repeat Refrain:
(Instrumental Interlude: | Bb | FM7 | Am7 G/B-Am7 |)
[G]There will be an[G/F#]other song fo[Em]r me, fo[Em7]r I will[CM7] sing[CM7/6] it;
[Cdim]There will be another dream for [D7]me -- some[Cdim]one will b[G9]ring [G]it.
I will d[CM7]rink the wine while it is warm,
And [Am7]never [Cdim]let you [Am7]catch me l[Bm]ooking at the sun;[E7]
And [Am]after all the l[Am+7]oves of my [Am7]life,[D7] [Am7]
[G]After all the l[G/F#]oves of my [CM7]life you'll still[CM7/6] be the [FM7]one.
[Cdim] I will [G]take my [G/F#]life into my [Em]hands, [Em6] and I will [CM7]use [CM7/6] it;
I will[Cdim] win the worship in their e[D7]yes, and[Cdim] I will l[G9]ose i[G]t.
I will [CM7]have the things that I de[Am7]sire,
And my [Cdim]passion [Am7]flow like [Bm]rivers through the s[E7]ky.
And [Am]after all the l[Am+7]oves of my [Am7]life [D7] [Am7] a[G]fter all the l[G/F#]oves of my [CM7]life
I'll be [FM7]thinking of y[Am]ou [Am+7] [D7] and [Cdim]wondering [Em]why.[A7]
[D]MacArthur's Park is[Dsus4] mel - t[D]ing [D9]in t[D]he d[DM7]ark
All the[DM7sus4] sweet, g[DM7]reen[Dm7/9] ic - i[D]ng fl[D7]owing down...
[G]Someone left the c[Am7]ake out [D9]in the r[G]ain
[Em7] I [A7]don't th[D]ink that I can [A7]take it
'Cause it [Em7]took so long to [F#m7]bake it
And I'll [Bm7]never have that [Bm7/E]recipe ag[G]ain[G/F#] Oh, [F]no, [A7] oh [D9]no. [Am7] [D9]
