Tom: Am
Bm D/A C Em Em
[Verse 1]
Bm D C
Spring was never waiting for us girl, it ran one step ahead
Em Em
As we followed in the dance
Bm D C
Between the parted pages that were pressed in love's hot fevered iron
Em Em F G
Like a strip-ed pair of pants
[Chorus]
A Amaj7
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
Em
All the sweet green icing flowing down
D
Someone left the cake out in the rain
E A
I don't think that I can take it
D
Lord, it took so long to bake it
A F#m C Em Em
I'll never have that recipe again, oh no!!
[Verse 2]
Bm D C
I recall a yellow cotton dress foaming like a wave
Em Em
On the ground around your knees
Bm D C
Birds like tender babies in your hands, old men playing checkers
Em Em F G
By the trees
[Chorus]
A Amaj7
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
Em
All the sweet green icing flowing down
D
Someone left the cake out in the rain
E A
I don't think that I can take it
D
Lord, it took so long to bake it
A F#m C Em Em
I'll never have that recipe again, oh no!!
