Verse
A#
On a misty morning walk
D# Cm
I met a friend, we sat and talked
F A#
About a place for us.
A#
All our words rambled high and low
D# Cm
From the Catskills down to New Mexico
F A#
There's a place for us
A#
From the Coney Island rides
D# Cm
Out to the California tides
F A#
There's a place for us
A#
Under a storyteller's tree
D# Cm
Or on a riverbank down in Tennessee
F A# D# F
There's a place for us
[Chorus 1]
D# F
Where people gather in the summer heat
D# F
Talk and laughter float on down the street
Dm Gm
There's a string band playing, and the dancing feet
A# F
Make such a peaceful sound on the hard concrete
F D# A# F
Ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
F D# A# F F7
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba
[Verse 2]
A#
From the town halls up in Maine
D# Cm
To the windmills on the plains
F A#
There's a place for us
A#
Where the farmer feeds the town
D# Cm
And the high-school band supplies the sound
F A#
There's a place for us
A#
When our borders disappear
D# Cm F A#
And the signs say "You're welcome here"
Where empty New York City lots
D# Cm
Become neighborhood garden plots
F A#
There's a place for us
A#
From the Rockies to the shore
D# Cm F A#
When there's a land of poetry and open doors
A#
Under a sky of endless love
D# Cm
Could be the world we're dreaming of
F A# D# F
G place for us.
[Chorus 2]
D# F
Where people gather at an evening fair
D# F
Crazy orchestras half fill the air
Dm Gm
And at every table there's an extra chair
A# F
G hand to shake, and a plate to share
F D# A# F
Ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
F D# A# F F7
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba
[Verse 3]
A#
On a misty morning walk
D# Cm
I met a friend, we sat and talked
F A#
About a place for us
D# F
G place for all of us
[Outro]
