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
