Macarthur Park Chords & Lyrics - Glen Campbell

Intro [Dm] [F] [D#] [Gm] [Bb]

[VERSE 1]

[Dm]Spring was never waiting for us[F] girl,
it ran one step [D#]ahead, as we followed in a d[Gm]ance.[Bb]
[Dm] [F] Dm7?
Between the parted pages and were pressed,
in love's hot fevered [D#]iron, like the striped pair of [Gm]pants[Bb] .
[Dm]I recall the yellow cotton [Dm7]dress,
foaming like a [D#]wave, on the ground around your [Gm]knees[Bb] .
[Dm] [F] Dm7?
And birds like tender babies in your hand,
and old men playing c[D#]heckers, by the [Gm]trees[Bb] . [G#] [Bb]

[CHORUS 1]

[C]MacArthur's Park is melting in the [Cmaj7]dark,
all the sweet green iceings [Bb]flowing down.
[F]Someone left the cake out in the rain.
I [G]don't [C]think that I can take it.
cause it t[Dm]ook so long to bake it.
And I'll [C]never have that recipe [F]again, [D#]oh no[C#]oo.[D#] [F]

[VERSE 2]

[F]There will be another song for [Fmaj7]me, for I will [Dm]sing [Bb]it.
T[Bbm]here will be another dream for me, someone will b[Fmaj7]ring i[F]t.
I [Bb]will drink the wine while it is warm
[Gm]and never l[Bb]et you catch me l[Am]ooking in the sun.[D7]
and [Gm]after all the loves of my [Bb]life,
a[Fmaj7]fter all the loves of my l[Bb]ife, you'll still be the [D#]one. [G#] [C]

[VERSE 3]

I will [G]take my life into my [Bm]hands and I will [C]use [Cmaj7]it.
I w[Am6]ill win the worship in their eyes, and I will lo[D]se it[G] .
I will [C]have the things that I desire,
[Cmaj7]and my [Am]passion flow like [Bm]rivers to the sky.[E]
A[E7]nd [Am]after all the loves of my l[C]ife,
woah... a[G]fter all the loves of my [C]life,
I'll be thinking of y[F]ou, and [D]wondering [Em]why. [G] [Bb] [C]

[OUTRO]

[D]MacArthur's Park is melting in the [Dmaj7]dark,
all the sweet green iceing f[C]lowing down.
[G]Someone left the cake out in the rain.
[F#m]I don't [Bm]think that I can take it.
Cause it [G]took so long to bake it.
And I'll [D]never have that recipe [G]again oh [Bb]nooo, o[D#]h no[Dm7]oo, noo[D]
