Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F]
[Am][F]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]We were young
together once upon a long lost time
[F]Apple trees were blossoming and
[Am]spring was on my [G]mind
[Am]Guitars on MacDougal Street,
[G]sandals in the snow
[F]When I fell in love with you,
I [G]was the [Am]last to [D]know
[Am]Down in Greenwich Village we
were scattered through the nights
[F]Singing at The Bitter End [Am]under
all those light[G]s
[F]Making love in single beds,
you [Em]always left by dawn
[F]Climbing on the Greyhound bus
[Em]where you would be alone
[C][Am]

[Verse 2]
Singing in MacArthur Park,
singing in Cheyen[G]ne
[F]Singing in the wilderness
[Am]where the truth [Em]began
[Am]We were gypsies in the wind,
[G]learning just to fly
[F]Making music,
making love [Am]as the years w[D]ent by
[Am]You had rhythm in your soul, I had violins
[F]You were rich and I was poor,
try[Am]ing to fit in
[F]Back on Bleeker in the spring and
[Em]haunting Jackson Square
[F]In the Fat Black Pussy Cat,
[Em]catch me if you [C]dare

[Verse 3]
[C]
We were so [Gm]alive
[F][C]

[Verse 4]
[Am]Then the world was going mad,
the sky was overcast
[F]I found my peace in whiskey
and the [Am]poets of the past
You were moving past me through the
[G]dark night of your soul
[F]I was singing folk songs and
[Am]dreamed of rock and [D]roll
The [Am]devil's in the details, you said,
dreaming of your [G]death
[F]I was running faster,
I was [Am]nearly out of breath
[F]Long before we lost our dreams
an[Em]d all our songs were sung
You [F]left the world too early,
your [Em]spirit died too [C]young

[Verse 5]
[C]
We were so [Gm]alive

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][Am]

[Verse 6]
[Am]I was headed for the moon,
[G]aching to be free
[F]Searching for the answers in the
[Em]booze [Am]and the marquee
What is left of Greenwich Village
[G]lives among your [Am]songs
[F]The ones we thought were always
right [Em]and never [Am]would be w[D]rong
Now [Am]sometimes the only thing
that gives me [G]hope is [Am]you
[F]You who saw right through [Dm]the veil
that [Am]fell out of the blue
[F]I will always miss you,
I [Em]will always hear your song[G]s
[F]Now the past is fading,
one more [Em]dream and it is [C]gone

[Verse 7]
[C]
We were so [Gm]alive

[Interlude 2]
[F][C][Am]

[Verse 8]
[Am]We were young together once
[G]upon a long lost time
[F]Apple trees were blossoming and
[G]spring was [Am]on my mind
Guitars on MacDougal Street,
[G]sandals in the snow
[F]I am still in love with y[Am]ou,
I was the last to [D]know

[Outro 1]
