VERSE 1:
E                   A E  A E                             A E  A E
Longfellow serenade,       such were the plans I'd made,
                                         A E
For she was a lady, and I was a dreamer,
                   E7
with only words to trade.
                    A                          D A
You know that I was born for a night like this.
                                   E       A E
Warmed by a stolen kiss, for I was lonely..
            B7
and she was lonely.

CHORUS:
E                   Emaj7  E7                   A       E     B7
Ride, come on baby, ride      let me make your dreams..come..true.
             E                    Emaj7  E7
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 his winged flight.
                                             A
Then come, and as we lay, beside this sleepy glade..
           E               B7         E          |D A E A|E    |E    |
There I'll sing to you..my Longfellow serenade.

VERSE 2:
E                   A E                           A E
Longfellow Serenade,   such were the plans I made.
                                          A E
But she was a lady..as deep as the river..
                          E7
And through the night, we stayed.
                 A
And in my way, I loved her as none before.
                                           E       A E
Loved her with words and more..for she was lonely..
          B7
and I was lonely.

CHORUS:
E                   Emaj7  E7                   A       E     B7
Ride, come on baby, ride      let me make your dreams..come..true.
             E                    Emaj7  E7
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 his winged flight.
                                             A
Then come, and as we lay, beside this sleepy glade..
           E               B7         E          |D A E A|E    |E    |
There I'll sing to you..my Longfellow serenade.
