Em G
Spring was never waiting for us, girl
F Am F Am C C/B
It ran one step ahead as we followed in the dance
Em G
Between the parted pages and were pressed
F Am F Am C C/B
In love's hot, fevered iron like a striped pair of pants
Refrain
D D4 D D9 D D7M
MacArthur's Park is melting in the dark
D7M/9 D7M Dm7/9 D D7
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
G Am7 D9 G
Someone left the cake out in the rain
Em7 A7 D A7
I don't think that I can take it
Em7 F#m7
'Cause it took so long to bake it
Bm7 Bm7/E G G/F# F D7
And I'll never have that recipe again Oh, no!
Em G
I recall the yellow cotton dress
F Am F Am C C/B
Foaming like a wave on the ground around your knees
Em G
The birds, like tender babies in your hands
F Am F Am C C/B
And the old men playing checkers by the trees
Repeat Refrain
