MacArthur Park chords
Jim Webb / Richard Harris
DmDm DmDm Eb MajorEb G minorGm
DmDm FF
Spring was never waiting for us, girl
Eb MajorEb
It ran one step ahead
G minorGm G minorGm Bb majorBb G#G# G minorGm
As we followed in the dance
DmDm FF
Between the parted pages and were pressed,
Eb MajorEb
In love's hot, fevered iron
G minorGm G minorGm Bb majorBb G#G# G minorGm
Like a striped pair of pants
C majorC Cmaj7Cmaj7
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
C11C11
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
FF Fmaj7Fmaj7
Someone left the cake out in the rain
C majorC
and I don't think that I can take it
Dm7Dm7
'cause it took so long to bake it
C majorC Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC
and I'll never have that recipe again
Eb MajorEb
Oh, no!
DmDm FF
I recall the yellow cotton dress
Eb MajorEb
foaming like a wave
G minorGm G minorGm Bb majorBb G#G# G minorGm
on the ground around your knees
DmDm FF
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
Eb MajorEb G minorGm G minorGm Bb majorBb G#G# G minorGm
and the old men playing checkers by the trees
C majorC Cmaj7Cmaj7
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
C11C11
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
FF Fmaj7Fmaj7
Someone left the cake out in the rain
C majorC
and I don't think that I can take it
Dm7Dm7
'cause it took so long to bake it
C majorC Cmaj7Cmaj7 C majorC
and I'll never have that recipe again
Eb MajorEb
Oh, no!
FF Fmaj7Fmaj7
There will be another song for me
Bb majorBb BbmBbm
For I will sing it
Bb majorBb
There will be another dream for me
Fmaj7Fmaj7 FF
Someone will bring it
Bb majorBb G minorGm
I will drink the wine while it is warm
A minorAm D7D7
and never let you catch me looking at the sun
G minorGm C11C11
And after all the loves of my life
Fmaj7Fmaj7 FF Bb majorBb
after all the loves of my life
Eb MajorEb C11C11
You'll still be the one.
FF Fmaj7Fmaj7
I will take my life into my hands
Bb majorBb BbmBbm
and I will use it
Bb majorBb
I will win the worship in their eyes
Fmaj7Fmaj7 FF
and I will lose it
Bb majorBb G minorGm
I will have the things that I desire
A minorAm D7D7
and my passion flow like rivers through the sky.
G minorGm C11C11
And after all the loves of my life
Fmaj7Fmaj7 FF Bb majorBb
After all the loves of my life
Eb MajorEb
I'll be thinking of you
DmDm
and wondering why.
FF Bb majorBb Fmaj7Fmaj7
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
FF F7F7
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Bb majorBb
Someone left the cake out in the rain
DmDm
and I don't think that I can take it
'cause it took so long to bake it
G7G7 BbmBbm
and I'll never have that recipe again
FF C11C11 G#G#
Oh, no! Oh no
