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