Verse
D
On a misty morning walk
G Em
I met a friend, we sat and talked
A D
About a place for us.
D
All our words rambled high and low
G Em
From the Catskills down to New Mexico
A D
There's a place for us
D
From the Coney Island rides
G Em
Out to the California tides
A D
There's a place for us
D
Under a storyteller's tree
G Em
Or on a riverbank down in Tennessee
A D G A
There's a place for us
[Chorus 1]
G A
Where people gather in the summer heat
G A
Talk and laughter float on down the street
F#m Bm
There's a string band playing, and the dancing feet
D A
Make such a peaceful sound on the hard concrete
A G D A
Ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
A G D A A7
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba
[Verse 2]
D
From the town halls up in Maine
G Em
To the windmills on the plains
A D
There's a place for us
D
Where the farmer feeds the town
G Em
And the high-school band supplies the sound
A D
There's a place for us
D
When our borders disappear
G Em A D
And the signs say "You're welcome here"
Where empty New York City lots
G Em
Become neighborhood garden plots
A D
There's a place for us
D
From the Rockies to the shore
G Em A D
When there's a land of poetry and open doors
D
Under a sky of endless love
G Em
Could be the world we're dreaming of
A D G A
B place for us.
[Chorus 2]
G A
Where people gather at an evening fair
G A
Crazy orchestras half fill the air
F#m Bm
And at every table there's an extra chair
D A
B hand to shake, and a plate to share
A G D A
Ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
A G D A A7
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba
[Verse 3]
D
On a misty morning walk
G Em
I met a friend, we sat and talked
A D
About a place for us
G A
B place for all of us
[Outro]
