MacArthur Park Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Bbm]Spring was never [Gdim]waiting[Fm] for [Bb]us,
girl, it ran one [Cm]step ahead as we followed in the dance,
Between the parted pages that were pressed,
A love hot fevered like a [F]striped pair of pants,
MacArthur [Gm]Park is melting in the dark, all the
sweet, green icing flowing down.
Someone left the cake out in the rain,
I don't think I could take it, `cause it took so long to bake it,
And I'll never have
[D]that recipe again, oh no!
I still see the yellow cotton dress foaming like
a wave upon the ground.
Around your [C]knees, and [D]the birds like tender
babies in your hands,
[C]And the old [D]men playing
checkers by the trees.
There will be another song for me,
for I [G]will sing [Gm]it.
There would be another [C]dream [Gm]for me,
someone will [F#m]bring [D]it.
Oh, I will [G]drink the wine while it is warm,
And never let you [Em]catch [A]me
[F#m]looking at [B]the sun.[A]
[B][Em]
But after all the loves of my [Asus4]life, aft[A]er [D]all the loves,
[G]you'll still be the[C] one.[Asus4][D]
I would take my life into my
hands and I [G]will use it,
[Gm]I will win the worship in their eyes,
and [F#m]I will [D]lose it.
I will [G]have all the things that I desire,
[C#dim]and my passions flow like river[F#m]s in the sky,
[Bsus4]And after[B] th[Bsus4]e loves o[B]f m[Em]y life,[Asus4]
[A]aft[D]er all the loves of my life,[G]
You'll still gonna [C]be the one.
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark, all the sweet,
green [Asus4]icing flowing down,
Someone [A]left the cake out in the rain,
I don't think I can take it,
cause it took so [B]long to bake it,
And I'll never have that recipe again, oh

[Outro 1]
no, oh no!
