Longfellow Serenade  (midi)
 
 C – G – D – G – D C – G – D – G – D ~
 
 D - G D
1. Longfellow Serenade, such were the plans I'd made,
G D  
 for she was a lady, and I was a dreamer, with only words to trade.
 G 
 You know that I was born for a night like this,
 D  - G-D 
 warmed by a stolen kiss, for I was lonely, 
 A - A7
 and she was lonely.
 
 D D7
Ride, come on baby, ride,
 G D A
let me make your dreams come true !
 D D7
I'll sing my song, let me sing my song,
 G D A - A7
let me make it warm for you.
 D  G
I'll weave this web of rhyme, upon the summer night,
 A - A7 D
we'll leave this worldly time on his winged flight.
  G
Then come, and as we lay beside this sleepy glade,
 D - A7 D C–G–D–G-D
there I will sing to you my Longfellow serenade.
 
 D  - G D
2. Longfellow serenade, such were the plans I'd made,
G D 
 but she was a lady as deep as the river,
 
 and through the night, we stayed.
 G
 And in my way, I loved her as none before,
 D - G - D 
 loved her with words and more, for she was lonely, 
 A - A7
 and I was lonely. + CHORUS C – G – D – G – D .....
