Verse
B
On a misty morning walk
E C#m
I met a friend, we sat and talked
F# B
About a place for us.
B
All our words rambled high and low
E C#m
From the Catskills down to New Mexico
F# B
There's a place for us
B
From the Coney Island rides
E C#m
Out to the California tides
F# B
There's a place for us
B
Under a storyteller's tree
E C#m
Or on a riverbank down in Tennessee
F# B E F#
There's a place for us
[Chorus 1]
E F#
Where people gather in the summer heat
E F#
Talk and laughter float on down the street
D#m G#m
There's a string band playing, and the dancing feet
B F#
Make such a peaceful sound on the hard concrete
F# E B F#
Ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
F# E B F# F#7
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba
[Verse 2]
B
From the town halls up in Maine
E C#m
To the windmills on the plains
F# B
There's a place for us
B
Where the farmer feeds the town
E C#m
And the high-school band supplies the sound
F# B
There's a place for us
B
When our borders disappear
E C#m F# B
And the signs say "You're welcome here"
Where empty New York City lots
E C#m
Become neighborhood garden plots
F# B
There's a place for us
B
From the Rockies to the shore
E C#m F# B
When there's a land of poetry and open doors
B
Under a sky of endless love
E C#m
Could be the world we're dreaming of
F# B E F#
G# place for us.
[Chorus 2]
E F#
Where people gather at an evening fair
E F#
Crazy orchestras half fill the air
D#m G#m
And at every table there's an extra chair
B F#
G# hand to shake, and a plate to share
F# E B F#
Ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
F# E B F# F#7
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba
[Verse 3]
B
On a misty morning walk
E C#m
I met a friend, we sat and talked
F# B
About a place for us
E F#
G# place for all of us
[Outro]
