MacArthur Park chords
Jim Webb / Richard Harris

Dm Dm  Eb  Gm

Dm                               F
Spring was never waiting for us, girl
                 Eb
It ran one step ahead
                      Gm Gm Bb G# Gm
As we followed in the dance
Dm                                F
Between the parted pages and were pressed,
                       Eb
In love's hot, fevered iron
                       Gm Gm Bb G# Gm
Like a striped pair of pants

   C                             Cmaj7
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
                           C11
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
F                                Fmaj7
Someone left the cake out in the rain
            C
and I don't think that I can take it
          Dm7
'cause it took so long to bake it
         C               Cmaj7   C
and I'll never have that recipe again
    Eb
Oh, no!

Dm                         F
I recall the yellow cotton dress
               Eb
foaming like a wave
                          Gm Gm Bb G# Gm
on the ground around your knees
    Dm                                F
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
                        Eb              Gm Gm Bb G# Gm
and the old men playing checkers by the trees

   C                             Cmaj7
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
                           C11
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
F                                Fmaj7
Someone left the cake out in the rain
            C
and I don't think that I can take it
          Dm7
'cause it took so long to bake it
         C               Cmaj7   C
and I'll never have that recipe again
    Eb
Oh, no!

F                              Fmaj7
There will be another song for me
           Bb   Bbm
For I will sing it
Bb
There will be another dream for me
             Fmaj7 F
Someone will bring it
Bb                                Gm
I will drink the wine while it is warm
    Am                                    D7
and never let you catch me looking at the sun
    Gm                        C11
And after all the loves of my life
Fmaj7         F           Bb
after all the loves of my life
                    Eb    C11
You'll still be the one.

       F                    Fmaj7
I will take my life into my hands
           Bb  Bbm
and I will use it
Bb
I will win the worship in their eyes
           Fmaj7 F
and I will lose  it
Bb                              Gm
I will have the things that I desire
       Am                                   D7
and my passion flow like rivers through the sky.
    Gm                        C11
And after all the loves of my life
Fmaj7         F           Bb
After all the loves of my life
                    Eb
I'll be thinking of you
              Dm
and wondering why.

F                 Bb             Fmaj7
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
                           F       F7
All the sweet, green icing flowing down...
Bb
Someone left the cake out in the rain
            Dm
and I don't think that I can take it

'cause it took so long to bake it
         G7                      Bbm
and I'll never have that recipe again
   F    C11     G#
Oh, no!      Oh no
