What the Song "MacArthur Park" is REALLY About* (Glen Campbell's Version) chords
Start Jamming...
[Eb] [Gm]
[Dm] Spring was never waiting for [C] us, girl
It ran one [Eb] step ahead
As we followed [Gm] in a dance
[Bb]
[Dm] Between the party pages and [C] we're pressed
In love's hot [Eb] fevered arm
Like a striped [Gm] pair of pants
[Bb] [Dm]
I recall the yellow [F] cotton dress
Foaming [Eb] like a wave
On the ground [Gm] around your knees
And [Bb] [Dm] birds like tender babies [F] in your hand
And old [Eb] men playing checkers
[Gm] By the [Bb] trees
[Ab]
[Bb] [C] Gotham's park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green [Bb] ice is flowing down
[F]
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I [C] don't think that I can take it
[Dm] Cause it took so long to bake it
[C] And I'll need that recipe [F] again
[Eb]
[Cm] [Db]
[Eb] [F]
There will be another song for me
[Bb] For I will sing
[Bbm] There will be another dream for [Bb] me
Someone will [F] bring it
I will drink the wine, what it is [Em] worth
You'll [Am] catch me looking in the sun
[D] After [Gm]
[C] [F] all the [Bb] lows of my life
You'll still be the [Eb] one
[Ab] I [G] will take my life into my hands
[C] And I will use it
[Cm]
Worship in [C] their eyes
And [Bm] I will [G] lose it
The [C]
things that I desire
[Gb] Movers [Bm]
to the sky
[E] After [Am]
all the lows [C] of my life
[G] After all the lows [C] of my life
I'll be thinking [F] of you
[D] And [Em] wondering why
[G] [Bb]
[C] [D] Gotham's park is melting in the dark
All the sweet green [A] ice is flowing [D] down
[G] In the rain My love
[D]
[Em] Cause it took so long to bake it
[D] And I'll never have that recipe [G] again
[D] Won't [E] [F]
[A] [D] you come
