Verse
C
On a misty morning walk
F Dm
I met a friend, we sat and talked
G C
About a place for us.
C
All our words rambled high and low
F Dm
From the Catskills down to New Mexico
G C
There's a place for us
C
From the Coney Island rides
F Dm
Out to the California tides
G C
There's a place for us
C
Under a storyteller's tree
F Dm
Or on a riverbank down in Tennessee
G C F G
There's a place for us
[Chorus 1]
F G
Where people gather in the summer heat
F G
Talk and laughter float on down the street
Em Am
There's a string band playing, and the dancing feet
C G
Make such a peaceful sound on the hard concrete
G F C G
Ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
G F C G G7
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba
[Verse 2]
C
From the town halls up in Maine
F Dm
To the windmills on the plains
G C
There's a place for us
C
Where the farmer feeds the town
F Dm
And the high-school band supplies the sound
G C
There's a place for us
C
When our borders disappear
F Dm G C
And the signs say "You're welcome here"
Where empty New York City lots
F Dm
Become neighborhood garden plots
G C
There's a place for us
C
From the Rockies to the shore
F Dm G C
When there's a land of poetry and open doors
C
Under a sky of endless love
F Dm
Could be the world we're dreaming of
G C F G
A place for us.
[Chorus 2]
F G
Where people gather at an evening fair
F G
Crazy orchestras half fill the air
Em Am
And at every table there's an extra chair
C G
A hand to shake, and a plate to share
G F C G
Ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
G F C G G7
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba
[Verse 3]
C
On a misty morning walk
F Dm
I met a friend, we sat and talked
G C
About a place for us
F G
A place for all of us
[Outro]
