Verse
A
On a misty morning walk
D Bm
I met a friend, we sat and talked
E A
About a place for us.
A
All our words rambled high and low
D Bm
From the Catskills down to New Mexico
E A
There's a place for us
A
From the Coney Island rides
D Bm
Out to the California tides
E A
There's a place for us
A
Under a storyteller's tree
D Bm
Or on a riverbank down in Tennessee
E A D E
There's a place for us
[Chorus 1]
D E
Where people gather in the summer heat
D E
Talk and laughter float on down the street
C#m F#m
There's a string band playing, and the dancing feet
A E
Make such a peaceful sound on the hard concrete
E D A E
Ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
E D A E E7
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba
[Verse 2]
A
From the town halls up in Maine
D Bm
To the windmills on the plains
E A
There's a place for us
A
Where the farmer feeds the town
D Bm
And the high-school band supplies the sound
E A
There's a place for us
A
When our borders disappear
D Bm E A
And the signs say "You're welcome here"
Where empty New York City lots
D Bm
Become neighborhood garden plots
E A
There's a place for us
A
From the Rockies to the shore
D Bm E A
When there's a land of poetry and open doors
A
Under a sky of endless love
D Bm
Could be the world we're dreaming of
E A D E
F# place for us.
[Chorus 2]
D E
Where people gather at an evening fair
D E
Crazy orchestras half fill the air
C#m F#m
And at every table there's an extra chair
A E
F# hand to shake, and a plate to share
E D A E
Ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
E D A E E7
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba
[Verse 3]
A
On a misty morning walk
D Bm
I met a friend, we sat and talked
E A
About a place for us
D E
F# place for all of us
[Outro]
