Echo Park chords by Keith Barbour

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  C/B

C/A      C/G
It's the morning
             F   F/E             F/D           F/C
Soon, he'll rise     finds the glasses for his eyes
G7
Aren't what they used to be
               C     C/B           C/A   C/G
Picks up the clothes He's worn so long
         F    F/E          F/D          F/E
On the bureau    sits the picture of a lady
        Dm7/G
And the mural of a man
             G7            Dm7/G  G7  C
Who've been gone for many years

(CHORUS)
 C                          F
The old man walks in Echo Park
Dm/G
From bench to bench he moves
        C
From morning til dark
                              F
For the ducks some bread he brings
Dm/G
Wonder if he'll feed them
  F               C    F   C   Dm/G   G7
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)
 Cm                         Dm7/G
Old man, tell me are there fears
G7                       Cm
Do you measure life in years
F7                       Dm7/G       G7
Or is one day all you'll ever know
             Dm7/G
I've got to know
Oh, oh, oh...

C                          F
The old man walks in Echo Park
Dm
From bench to bench he moves
                  C
From morning til dark

Repeat
