Neil Diamond - Longfellow Serenade Chords

I find this tab easier and sounding closer to the original.


Rhythm pretty standard and not too fast, play the strings as you go along


Intro: D A E A E x 2 (down stroke on each chord change)

Verse 1

E                   A,E                           A,E
Longfellow serenade,  Such were the plans I made 
E
For she was a lady, and I was a dreamer,

with only words to trade, 
                   A
You know that I was born, for a night like this 

warmed by a stolen kiss,
           E 
For I was lonely,
              B7
and she was lonely

Chorus:

 E                                         A    E    B7
Ride, come on baby ride, let me make your dreams come true
               E         
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 this summer night
   B7                                  E
We'll leave this worldly time on its winged flight
                                   A
Then come and as we lay beside this sleepy glade
             B7                 E
there I will sing to you my Longfellow serenade.
 
D A E A E  x 2

Verse 2  
Longfellow serenade, such were the plans I'd made
For she was a lady, as deep as the river,
and through the night we stayed,
and in my way, I loved her as none before,
loved her with words and more,
for she was lonely, and I was lonely.
