 MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark.
                           A augmentedA
All the sweet green icing, flowing down.
D MajorD                                 Dmaj7Dmaj7
Someone left the cake out, in the rain.
        A augmentedA
I don't think that I can take it.
          B minorBm
'Cause it took so long to bake it.
         A augmentedA                       D MajorD
And I'll never have that recipe again...

Verse 2:
B minorBm                        D MajorD
I recall the yellow cotton dress,
                 C majorC
foaming like a wave.
                           E minorEm      E minorEm
On the ground beneath your knees.
B minorBm                               D MajorD
Birds like tender babies in your hands
D MajorD
And the old men playing;
C majorC                         E minorEm     E minorEm
  Chinese checkers by the tree.
