Mcarthur Park

[Intro]dução: Em G Em G Em G F Am F Am C C/B Spring was never waiting for us, girl; It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance Em G F Am F Am C C/B Between the parted pages and were pressed, In love's hot, fevered iron like a striped pair of pants. Refrain: D Dsus4 D D9 D D7M D7M/sus4 D7M Dm7/9 D D7 MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark All the sweet, green icing flowing down G Am7 D9 G Em7 A7 D A7 Someone left the cake out in the rain I don't think that I can take it Em7 F#m7 Bm7 Bm7/E G G/F# F D7 'Cause it took so long to bake it and I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no! Em G F Am F Am C C/B I recall the yellow cotton dress. Foaming like a wave on the ground around your knees Em G F Am F Am C C/B The birds, like tender babies in your hands and the old men playing checkers by the trees. Repeat Refrain: Instrumental Interlude: Bb F7M Am7 G/B Am7 G G/F# Em Em7 C7M C7M/9 There will be another song for me, for I will sing it; Cdim D7 Cdim G9 G There will be another dream for me someone will bring it. C7M Am7 Cdim Am7 Bm E7 I will drink the wine while it is warm, and never let you catch me looking at the sun; Am Am7+ Am7 D7 Am7 G G/F# C7M C7M/9 F7M And after all the loves of my life, after all the loves of my life you'll still be the one. Cdim G G/F# Em Em6 C7M C7M/9 I will take my life into my hands, and I will use it; Cdim D7 Cdim G9 G C7M Am7 I will win the worship in their eyes, and I will lose it. I will have the things that I desire, Cdim Am7 Bm E7 And my passion flow like rivers through the sky. Am Am+7 Am7 D7 Am7 G G/F# C7M And after all the loves of my life after all the loves of my life F7M Am Am7+ D7 Cdim Em A7 D Dsus4 D D9 D D7M I'll be thinking of you and wondering why.
