Macarthur Park chords

[Dm]Spring was never waiting for us, [Dm/C]girl,
it ran one step [Eb/Bb]a..head as we followed
in the [Gm]dance[Bb/F] .
[F]Be..[Dm]tween the parted pages and were [Dm/C]pressed,
[E]/[Bb]
in love's hot, fevered i..ron, like a strip-ed
pair of [Gm]pants.[Bb/F] [Ab] [Bb]

[CHORUS]
Mac[C]Arthur Park is melting in the dark,
[CM7]all the sweet, green icing [Gm7/C]flowing down..
[F]Someone left the cake out in the [Fm7]rain..
I don't [C/E]think that I can take it,
cause it [Dm7]took so long to bake it,
and I'll [C/E]never have that recipe a[FM7]gain,
Oh, [Eb]no!

#2.
[Dm]I recall the yellow cotton [Dm/C]dress, foaming like
a [Eb/Bb]wave on the ground, around your [Gm]knees[Bb/F] .
[F]The [Dm]birds, like tender babies in your [Dm/C]hands,
and the old men playing [Eb/Bb]checkers, by the [Gm]trees.

[CHORUS]

#3.
[F]There will be another song for [FM7]me,
for I will [BbM7]sing [Bb6]it.
[Bb7]There will be another dream for me,
Fsus9/[A] [F]
someone will bring it.
[FM7]I will [BbM7]drink the wine while it is warm,
[Em7] -5 [Am7]
and never let you catch me looking at

the sun.
[D7]And [Gm7]after all the loves of my [Gm7/C]life, [C7-9]
[FM7]after all the [F]loves of my [BbM7]life,
you'll still be the [EbM7]one. [Gm7/C]

#4.
I [C7]will take my [F]life into my [FM7]hands and
I will [BbM7]use [Bb6]it.
[Bb7]I will win the worship in their eyes and
Fsus9/[A] [F]
I will lose it.
I will [BbM7]have the things that I desire,
[Em7] -5 [Am7] [D7sus4] [D7] [C]
and my passion flow like rivers through the sky.
[D7]And [Gm7]after all the loves of my [Gm7/C]life,
[C7-9]Oh, [FM7]after all the loves of my [BbM7]life,
I'll be thinking of [EbM7]you [Csus4]and wondering [Dm]why.

[CHORUS]
