🎸 Intro: Bm A G Bm Bm A G Bm 🎸 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 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 E E I am still in love with you I was the last to know
