MacArthur Park Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F#m][D][A][G][Bm][Abdim][Bm][D][G][C][G]
[F#m]

[Verse 1]
Spring was never waiting [F#m]for us, gi[A]rl
It ran one [G]step ahead
As we followed in [Bm]the dance[D][G][Asus4]
[F#m]Between the parted pages
[A]and were pressed
In love's hot, fevered [D]iron[G]
Like a striped pair [Bm]of pants
[D][C][D]

[Verse 2]
[E]MacArthur's Park
is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green [Em]icing flowing [E]down
[A]Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't [E]think that I can take it
'Cause it [F#m]took so long to bake it
[E]And I'll never have that recipe [A]again
[G]Oh, no!
[Em][C][Am][F#m]

[Verse 3]
I recall the yellow cotton [A]dress
Foaming [D]like [G]a wave
On the ground around
[Bm]your knees[D][G][Asus4]
[F#m]The birds,
like tender [A]babies in your hands
And the [G]old men playing checkers by [Bm]the
[G]trees[Bm]
[D][C][D]

[Verse 4]
[E]
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet,
green icing flowing down
[A]Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't [E]think that I can take it
'Cause it [F#m]took so long to bake it
[E]And I'll never have that re[A]cipe again
Oh, [G]no!

[Interlude 1]
[Em][G][Bm][E][C#m][Ebm][G#m]
[G#dim][D][G][C][F][G][A]

[Verse 5]
There will be another song [A]for me
[D]For I will [G]sing [D]it[Bm][Ddim]
There will [D]be another
[G]dream [Ddim]for me
[C#m]Someone will [A]bring it
[D]I will drink the wine while it
[G#dim]is warm
And never let you catch me
[C#m]looking at the sun
[F#sus4]And after [F#]all[F#sus4][F#][Bm]
the loves of [Esus4]my life[E][A]
After all the loves of my [D]life
You'll [G]still be the one
[Esus4][E]

[Verse 6]
[A]
I will take my life into my hands
[D]and I will use it[Ddim]
I will win the worship in their
[C#m]eyes and I w[A]ill lose it
I [D]will have the things that I [G#dim]desire
And my [C#m]passion flow like
rivers [F#sus4]through the sky[F#]
[F#sus4]And after [F#]all[Bm]
the loves [Esus4]of my life[D][E]
[A]After all the loves of my lif[D]e
I'll [G]be thinking of [Esus4]you
[E]And wonder[A]ing why[F#m][D][F#m]

[Verse 7]
[A]MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet,
green [E]icing [Em]flowing down[A]
