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.
