Got The Gate On The Golden Gate Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Do you realize that better
than a million people
cross the New York City
bridges every day?
The Triborough, the Williamsburg,
the [C]Brooklyn Bridge,
and there's a great George Washington
to send them on their [Gm]way.
[C]Manhattan, Manhat[F]tan,
the [C]Silk and the [F]Satin,
[C]QC and Par[F]k Ave[Fm]nue t[Fm]here.
[F]The [G]uptown, the downtown,
the running around [Fdim]town,
[Fm]and all the citizens do th[C]er[Em]e.
[Fm]Ther[Ddim]e is no[Bb][G]
denying it's excit[C]ing,
but we [G]know a town
[C]that's more [Em]inviting.
[G]There have been [D]lots of songs
[D]written about [G]San Fran[D]cisco.
[C]This is not one of [G]them,
[G][C]
[G]nor [C]do they go the[D] way[C] tha[B]t thi[C]s[Fm]
[Fdim]goes.[G][C][Fm][C]
[Em]We're [C]not [Em]about to tell you of her hill[D]s,
[Bm]
or her [Fm]cable [Bb]cars,[Gb]
[Ebm]or her many thrills, [Cb]but[Cbm]
Instead, we thought [C]we
[Am]would take[B] a cha[C]nce[B]
[Bm]An d brief y[G]ou on how she stacks
up [C]in ro[Em]mance[Fm]
[Bb]Went [C]for [F]a walk [C]one day [Bb]alone
[C]Dow[G]n around the[Eb] bay,[C] I guess
You [G]could [C]say that it was fate
How else could [Bb]I have met my love on[Fm]
the Golden [C]Gate?[C][Fm]
[C]She [Ebm]strolled [C]alo[F]ng the bridge
[C]and she [G]was the [C]cutest pigeon
Gee, [G]did you nev[C]er palpitate?
Well, you'd [Bb]have swooned
to see her there
on the Golden [Fm]Gate[Gm]
[G]He looked into her eye[Em]s
[C]and foggy [Bb]skies [C]were clear
[Fm]An d[Gm] just when I
thought [C]love was near,
[Bb]what [Eb]a switch [C]-alarm
[C]Came [Bb]a lim[Fm]ousine away,[C]
[G]sped my [C]pretty queen
alas [Fm]I'm too l[C]ittle and too late
And [Bb]that's [C]what [Eb]happens to [Gm]you
when you don't [C]rate.
[C]I had no gold and got the gate
[Fm]on the Golden [Bb]Gate.
[Fm]He didn't ha[Bb]ve a penny
[A]so he couldn't ask her out
for any [C]cof[G] fe[Bm]e.
[C]And at the Pap[A]agaya room
we're telling this to you
so you may understand.
[G]That's [C]wha[Em]t happens[C]
when [E]you [Bb]don't [A]write.
He had no gold [Fm]and g[B]ot the g[Fm]ate,

[Outro 1]
On the Golden Gate.
[Em][Fm]
