(F)Some one left the cake out in the rain;

I don’t (C)think that I can take it ’cause it (Dm7)took so long to bake it and I’ll (C)nev er have that rec i pe a (Fmaj7)gain,

oh, (Eb)no.

(Dm)Spring was re nev er wait yel ing cot for us, (Dm)girl, it ran one step a a (Eb)head as we the fol lowed in round the (Gm)knees.

The (Dm)birds like ten der ba bies in your (Dm)pressed in love’s old hot fe vered i uers ron like a strip ed pair of (Gm)trees.

Mac (C)Ar thur’s Park is melt ing in the dark,
