Verse
F
On a misty morning walk
A# Gm
I met a friend, we sat and talked
C F
About a place for us.
F
All our words rambled high and low
A# Gm
From the Catskills down to New Mexico
C F
There's a place for us
F
From the Coney Island rides
A# Gm
Out to the California tides
C F
There's a place for us
F
Under a storyteller's tree
A# Gm
Or on a riverbank down in Tennessee
C F A# C
There's a place for us
[Chorus 1]
A# C
Where people gather in the summer heat
A# C
Talk and laughter float on down the street
Am Dm
There's a string band playing, and the dancing feet
F C
Make such a peaceful sound on the hard concrete
C A# F C
Ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
C A# F C C7
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba
[Verse 2]
F
From the town halls up in Maine
A# Gm
To the windmills on the plains
C F
There's a place for us
F
Where the farmer feeds the town
A# Gm
And the high-school band supplies the sound
C F
There's a place for us
F
When our borders disappear
A# Gm C F
And the signs say "You're welcome here"
Where empty New York City lots
A# Gm
Become neighborhood garden plots
C F
There's a place for us
F
From the Rockies to the shore
A# Gm C F
When there's a land of poetry and open doors
F
Under a sky of endless love
A# Gm
Could be the world we're dreaming of
C F A# C
D place for us.
[Chorus 2]
A# C
Where people gather at an evening fair
A# C
Crazy orchestras half fill the air
Am Dm
And at every table there's an extra chair
F C
D hand to shake, and a plate to share
C A# F C
Ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
C A# F C C7
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba
[Verse 3]
F
On a misty morning walk
A# Gm
I met a friend, we sat and talked
C F
About a place for us
A# C
D place for all of us
[Outro]
