🎸 Verse:
Bm                            A
We were young together once upon a long lost time
 G                              F#m               A
Apple trees were blossoming and spring was on my mind
 Bm                           A
Guitars on MacDougal Street, sandals in the snow
 G                            Bm               E  E
When I fell in love with you I was the last to know
 Bm                                 A
Down in Greenwich Village we would scatter through the nights
 G                        Bm              A
Singing at The Bitter End under all those lights
 G                                  F#m
Making love in the single beds, you always left by dawn
 G                                   F#m                        D D Bm Bm
Climbing on the Greyhound bus, (where you) where you would be alone

🎸 Verse:
 Bm                         A
Singing in MacArthur Park, singing in Cheyenne
G                          Bm
 Singing in the wilderness where the truths began
Bm                            A
We were gypsies in the wind, learning just to fly
 G                       Bm                E E
Making music, making love as the years went by
Bm                           A
You had rhythm in your soul
I had violins
 G                            Bm           A
You were rich and I was poor, trying to fit in
 G                                F#m
Back on Bleeker in the spring and haunting Jackson Square
G                           F#m              D  D D
In the Fat Black Pussy Cat, catch me if you dare!


🎸 Refrain:
             Am  G D  D
We were so aliiiiiiive


🎸 Verse:
 Bm                                A
Then the world was going mad, the sky was overcast
 G                                F#m           A
Found my peace in whiskey and the poets of the past
Bm                                   A
You were moving past me through the dark night of your soul
G                            Bm                  E E
I was singing folk songs and dreamed of rock and roll
     Bm                                A
The devil's in the details, you said, dreaming of your death
G                           Bm            A
I was running faster
I was nearly out of breath
 G                                F#m
Long before we lost our dreams and all our songs were sung
     G                             F#m          D      D D
You left the world too early, your spirit died too young


🎸 Refrain:
             Am  G D D Bm Bm
We were so aliiiiiiive


🎸 Verse:
Bm                          A
I was headed for the moon, aching to be free
 G                               F#m               Bm
Searching for the answers in the booze and the marquee
 Bm                                A
What is left of Greenwich Village lives among your songs
     G                                    A             E   E
The ones we thought were always right and never would be wrong
Bm                                    A
Now sometimes the only thing that it gives me hope is you
 G                                      Bm
You who saw right through the veil that fell out of the blue
G                        F#m
I will always miss you
I will always hear your songs
 G                               F#m              D D D
Now the past is fading, one more dream and it is gone


🎸 Refrain:
             Am  G D D Bm Bm
We were so aliiiiiiive


🎸 Verse:
Bm                            A

 G                              F#m               A

 Bm                           A
Guitars on MacDougal Street, sandals in the snow
G                             Bm               E  E E E
I am still in love with you
I was the last to know
