Verse
G
On a misty morning walk
C Am
I met a friend, we sat and talked
D G
About a place for us.
G
All our words rambled high and low
C Am
From the Catskills down to New Mexico
D G
There's a place for us
G
From the Coney Island rides
C Am
Out to the California tides
D G
There's a place for us
G
Under a storyteller's tree
C Am
Or on a riverbank down in Tennessee
D G C D
There's a place for us
[Chorus 1]
C D
Where people gather in the summer heat
C D
Talk and laughter float on down the street
Bm Em
There's a string band playing, and the dancing feet
G D
Make such a peaceful sound on the hard concrete
D C G D
Ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
D C G D D7
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba
[Verse 2]
G
From the town halls up in Maine
C Am
To the windmills on the plains
D G
There's a place for us
G
Where the farmer feeds the town
C Am
And the high-school band supplies the sound
D G
There's a place for us
G
When our borders disappear
C Am D G
And the signs say "You're welcome here"
Where empty New York City lots
C Am
Become neighborhood garden plots
D G
There's a place for us
G
From the Rockies to the shore
C Am D G
When there's a land of poetry and open doors
G
Under a sky of endless love
C Am
Could be the world we're dreaming of
D G C D
E place for us.
[Chorus 2]
C D
Where people gather at an evening fair
C D
Crazy orchestras half fill the air
Bm Em
And at every table there's an extra chair
G D
E hand to shake, and a plate to share
D C G D
Ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
D C G D D7
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba
[Verse 3]
G
On a misty morning walk
C Am
I met a friend, we sat and talked
D G
About a place for us
C D
E place for all of us
[Outro]
