Macarthur Park:Richard Harris. 
#2 in 1968. 

#1. 
Dm                               Dm/C 
Spring was never waiting for us, girl, 
                Eb/Bb 
it ran one step a..head as we followed 
       Gm   Bb/F 
in the dance. 
F   Dm                              Dm/C 
Be..tween the parted pages and were pressed, 
                       E/Bb 
in love's hot, fevered i..ron, like a strip-ed  
        Gm    Bb/F  Ab Bb 
pair of pants. 

Chorus: 
   C 
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark, 
Cm7                        Gm7/C 
all the sweet, green icing flowing down.. 
F                                Fm7 
Someone left the cake out in the rain.. 
        C/E 
I don't think that I can take it, 
         Dm7 
cause it took so long to bake it, 
         C/E                     Fm7 
and I'll never have that recipe again, 
    Eb 
Oh, no! 

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

Chorus: 

#3. 
F                              Fm7 
There will be another song for me, 
           Bbm7 Bb6 
for I will sing it. 
Bb7 
There will be another dream for me, 
             Fsus9/A  F 
someone will bring    it. 
Fm7    Bbm7 
I will drink the wine while it is warm, 
Em7/5-                      Am7 
and never let you catch me looking at 

the sun. 
D7  Gm7                       Gm7/C  C7/9- 
And after all the loves of my life, 
Fm7           F           Bbm7 
after all the loves of my life, 
                    Ebm7  Gm7/C 
you'll still be the one. 

#4. 
  C7           F            Fm7 
I will take my life into my hands and 
       Bbm7  Bb6 
I will use   it. 
Bb7 
I will win the worship in their eyes and  
       Fsus9/A  F 
I will lose     it. 
       Bbm7 
I will have the things that I desire, 
Em7/5-                    Am7                   D7sus4 D7 C 
and my passion flow like rivers through the sky. 
D7  Gm7                       Gm7/C 
And after all the loves of my life, 
C7/9-  Fm7                       Bbm7 
Oh,   after all the loves of my life, 
                    Ebm7 Csus4         Dm 
I'll be thinking of you  and wondering why. 

Chorus: 


A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
