Longfellow Serenade

Longfellow (G)serenade, (D)such were the plans I'd made.

(G)For (D)she was a lady, and I was a dreamer with only words to trade.

You know that I was (G)born for a night like this,

warmed by a stolen kiss.

For I was (D)lonely,

and she was (A7)lonely.

(D)Ride, come on, baby, ride.

(D7)Let me make your (G)dreams (D)come (A7)true.

I'll sing my (D)song;

let me sing my song.

(D7)Let me make it (G)warm (D)for (A7)you.

I'll (D)weave his web of rhyme upon the summer (G)night.

We'll (A7)leave this worldly time on his winged (D)flight.

Then come, and as we lay beside this sleepy (G)glade,

there I will (D)sing to you my

(A)Longfellow (D)serenade.

(D)Longfellow (G)serenade, (D)such were the plans I made.

(G)But (D)she was a lady as deep as the river,

and through the night we stayed.

And in my way, I (G)loved her as none before,

loved her with words and more.

For she was (D)lonely,

and I was (A7)lonely.

(D)Ride, come on, baby, ride.

(D7)Let me make your (G)dreams (D)come (A7)true.

I'll sing my (D)song;

let me sing my song.

(D7)Let me make it (G)warm (D)for (A7)you.

I'll (D)weave his web of rhyme upon the summer (G)night.

We'll (A7)leave this worldly time on his winged (D)flight.

Then come, and as we lay beside this sleepy (G)glade,

there I will (D)sing to you my

(A)Longfellow (D)serenade.
