Longfellow Serenade,   such were the plans I made
                                     A E
For she was a lady and I was a dreamer
                     E7
With only words to trade
                     A
You know that I was born for a night like this

Warmed by a stolen kiss
             E   A E             B7
For I was lonely   and she was lonely

 E                   E7+  E7
Ride, come on baby, ride
                   A    E    B7
Let me make your dreams come true
              E                    E7+  E7
I'll sing my song, let me sing my song
                A    E   B7
Let me make it warm for you

       E                                     A
I'll weave this web of rhyme upon the summer night
        B7                                   E
We'll leave this worldly time on his winged flight
                                             A
Then come, and as we lay beside this sleepy glade
               E             B7          E        D A E A E
There I will sing to you my Longfellow Serenade

Longfellow Serenade,    such were the plans I made
                                      A E
But she was a lady as deep as a river

And through the night, we stayed
                   A
And in my way, I loved her as none before

Loved her with words and more
             E                 B7
For she was lonely and I was lonely

 E                   E7+  E7
Ride, come on baby, ride
                   A    E    B7
Let me make your dreams come true
              E                    E7+  E7
I'll sing my song, let me sing my song
                A    E   B7
Let me make it warm for you

       E                                     A
I'll weave this web of rhyme upon the summer night

We'll leave this worldly time on his winged flight
                                             A

               E             B7          E        D A E A E
There I will sing to you my Longfellow Serenade
