Verse
E
On a misty morning walk
A F#m
I met a friend, we sat and talked
B E
About a place for us.
E
All our words rambled high and low
A F#m
From the Catskills down to New Mexico
B E
There's a place for us
E
From the Coney Island rides
A F#m
Out to the California tides
B E
There's a place for us
E
Under a storyteller's tree
A F#m
Or on a riverbank down in Tennessee
B E A B
There's a place for us
[Chorus 1]
A B
Where people gather in the summer heat
A B
Talk and laughter float on down the street
G#m C#m
There's a string band playing, and the dancing feet
E B
Make such a peaceful sound on the hard concrete
B A E B
Ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
B A E B B7
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba
[Verse 2]
E
From the town halls up in Maine
A F#m
To the windmills on the plains
B E
There's a place for us
E
Where the farmer feeds the town
A F#m
And the high-school band supplies the sound
B E
There's a place for us
E
When our borders disappear
A F#m B E
And the signs say "You're welcome here"
Where empty New York City lots
A F#m
Become neighborhood garden plots
B E
There's a place for us
E
From the Rockies to the shore
A F#m B E
When there's a land of poetry and open doors
E
Under a sky of endless love
A F#m
Could be the world we're dreaming of
B E A B
C# place for us.
[Chorus 2]
A B
Where people gather at an evening fair
A B
Crazy orchestras half fill the air
G#m C#m
And at every table there's an extra chair
E B
C# hand to shake, and a plate to share
B A E B
Ba ba ba ba ba ba-ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
B A E B B7
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba-ba ba ba ba
[Verse 3]
E
On a misty morning walk
A F#m
I met a friend, we sat and talked
B E
About a place for us
A B
C# place for all of us
[Outro]
