Echo Park chords by Keith Barbour

Chords with lyrics

One of the things I love about this song is the great descending bass line (a la
"Whiter Shade of Pale"
Penny Lane", "Piano Man", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and a million other songs).

Echo Park
                  (Buzz Ckifford)

Intro C majorC C/BC/B

C/AC/A   C/GC/G
It's the morning
       FF  F/E       F/D      F/CF/C
Soon, he'll rise   finds the glasses for his eyes
G7G7
Aren't what they used to be
        C majorC   C/BC/B      C/AC/A  C/GC/G
Picks up the clothes He's worn so long
     FF  F/E     F/D     F/E
On the bureau  sits the picture of a lady
    Dm7/G
And the mural of a man
       G7G7      Dm7/G G7G7 C majorC
Who've been gone for many years

(CHORUS)
 C majorC             FF
The old man walks in Echo Park
Dm/G
From bench to bench he moves
    C majorC
From morning til dark
               FF
For the ducks some bread he brings
Dm/G
Wonder if he'll feed them
 FF        C majorC  FF  C majorC  Dm/G  G7G7
This time next spring

Listening to the children play
Reminds him of the days
Many years ago

Thoughts of a child
That he helped grow
And memory of a letter
Saying, dear Sir
We regret to inform you
Your son will not be coming home

(CHORUS)
 C minorCm             Dm7/G
Old man, tell me are there fears
G7G7            C minorCm
Do you measure life in years
F7F7            Dm7/G    G7G7
Or is one day all you'll ever know
       Dm7/G
I've got to know
Oh, oh, oh...

C majorC             FF
The old man walks in Echo Park
DmDm
From bench to bench he moves
         C majorC
From morning til dark

Repeat
