Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

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 B 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 B 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.
