[Em] [Am] [Em] [Am] 
[Am] From Cape Cod [E] Light to the [Am] Mississip', to San Fran-[F]cisco [C] Bay.
[E] They're [Am] talkin' '[E] bout this [Am] famous place, [F] down Greenwich [Em] Village [Am] way.
[C] They hootenanny [Am] all the time with folks from [F] every-[C]where. 
[C] Come Sunday morning, rain or [Am] shine, [F] right in [Em] Washington [Am] Square.

[Am] And so I got my banjo out, just sitting, [F] catching [C] dust.
[E] And [A] painted [E] right across the [Am] case, 'Greenwich Village or Bust!'
My [C] folks were sad to [Am] see me go, but I got no [F] meaning [C] there.
[Em] So, [C] I said, goodbye, [Am] Kansas, Mo. and [F] hello, [Em] Washington [Am] Square.

[F] Near [Bbm] Tenne-[F]ssee, [Bbm] I met a guy who played 12 [F#] string gui-[C#]tar.
[F] He [Bb] also [F] had a [Bbm] mighty voice, [F#] not to [Fm] mention a [Bbm] car.
Each [C#] time he hit those [Bbm] bluegrass chords, you sure smelled [F#] mountain [C#] air.
[F] I [C#] said, don't waste it [Bbm] on the wind, come [F#] on to [Fm] Washington [Bbm] Square.

[F#] In [B] New Orleans, we [Bm] saw a gal a-walkin' [G] with no [D] shoes.
[F#m] And [Bm] from her throat there comes a growl, she [G] sure was [Bm] singin' the blues.
She [D] sang for all [Bm] humanity, this gal with [G] raven [D] hair.
I said, it's for the [Bm] world to hear, [G] come to [F#m] Washington [Bm] Square.

[Gm] We  [Cm] cannonballed into New York on good old [G#] US [Eb] 1.
[G] 'Til up a[Cm]-head we saw the arch, a-[G#]gleamin' [Cm] bright in the sun.
As [Eb] far as all the [Cm] eye could see, ten thousand [G#] folks were [Eb] there.
And [Eb] singing in sweet [Cm] harm-[Eb]ony, [G#] right in [Gm] Washington [Cm] Square.

[Cm] Let's go to [Gm] Washington[Cm] Square - come on to [Gm] Washington [Cm] Square   (Fading)
