Verse
C#
On a misty morning walk
F# D#m
I met a friend, we sat and talked
G# C#
About a place for us.
C#
All our words rambled high and low
F# D#m
From the Catskills down to New Mexico
G# C#
There's a place for us
C#
From the Coney Island rides
F# D#m
Out to the California tides
G# C#
There's a place for us
C#
Under a storyteller's tree
F# D#m
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
Fm A#m
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# G#7
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba
[Verse 2]
C#
From the town halls up in Maine
F# D#m
To the windmills on the plains
G# C#
There's a place for us
C#
Where the farmer feeds the town
F# D#m
And the high-school band supplies the sound
G# C#
There's a place for us
C#
When our borders disappear
F# D#m G# C#
And the signs say "You're welcome here"
Where empty New York City lots
F# D#m
Become neighborhood garden plots
G# C#
There's a place for us
C#
From the Rockies to the shore
F# D#m G# C#
When there's a land of poetry and open doors
C#
Under a sky of endless love
F# D#m
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
Fm A#m
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# G#7
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba
[Verse 3]
C#
On a misty morning walk
F# D#m
I met a friend, we sat and talked
G# C#
About a place for us
F# G#
A# place for all of us
[Outro]
