#2 in 1968.

#1.
Dm                               Dm/C
Spring was never waiting for us, girl,
                Eb/Bb
it ran one step a..head as we followed
       Gm   Bb/F
in the dance.
F   Dm                              Dm/C
Be..tween the parted pages and were pressed,
                       E/Bb
in love's hot, fevered i..ron, like a strip—ed 
        Gm    Bb/F  Ab Bb
pair of pants.

CHORUS:
   C
MacArthur Park is melting in the dark,
CM7                        Gm7/C
all the sweet, green icing flowing down..
F                                Fm7
Someone left the cake out in the rain..
        C/E
I don't think that I can take it,
         Dm7
cause it took so long to bake it,
         C/E                     Fm7
and I'll never have that recipe again,
    Eb
Oh, no!

#2.
Dm                         Dm/C                   
I recall the yellow cotton dress, foaming like
  Eb/Bb                           Gm   Bb/F
a wave on the ground, around your knees.
F   Dm                                Dm/C
The birds, like tender babies in your hands,
                        Eb/Bb            Gm
and the old men playing checkers, by the trees.

CHORUS:

#3.
F                              Fm7
There will be another song for me,
           BbM7 Bb6
for I will sing it.
Bb7
There will be another dream for me,
             Fsus9/A  F
someone will bring    it.
Fm7    BbM7
I will drink the wine while it is warm,
Em7—5                      Am7
and never let you catch me looking at

the sun.
D7  Gm7                       Gm7/C  C7—9
And after all the loves of my life,
Fm7           F           BbM7
after all the loves of my life,
                    EbM7  Gm7/C
you'll still be the one.

#4.
  C7           F            Fm7
I will take my life into my hands and
       BbM7  Bb6
I will use   it.
Bb7
I will win the worship in their eyes and 
       Fsus9/A  F
I will lose     it.
       BbM7
I will have the things that I desire,
Em7—5                    Am7                   D7sus4 D7 C
and my passion flow like rivers through the sky.
D7  Gm7                       Gm7/C
And after all the loves of my life,
C7—9  Fm7                       BbM7
Oh,   after all the loves of my life,
                    EbM7 Csus4         Dm
I'll be thinking of you  and wondering why.

CHORUS:


A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
