Richard Harris - Macarthur Park Chords
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:

There will be another song for me,

after all the loves of my life,

you'll still be the one.
#4.
C7 F Fm7
I will take my life into my hands and

I will have the things that I desire,
Em7-5 Am7 D7sus4 D7 C
and my passion flow like rivers through the sky.

A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
