The Fenway
(Appears on Rockin' & Romance)
D
Now I was born by the Fenway in Beth Israel Hospital
G F#m G A
Could that help to explain why I love the Fenway so well
Bm F#m
Nowhere do I feel more at home, it seems,
G A
Then on the Fenway, where I dreamed my dreams
D
Well I was small, they took us to old Mechanics Hall
G F#m
We got to see the mighty Ted Williams,
G A
Put one over the right field wall
Bm F#m
All that nostalgia comes out every day, you see,
G D
On the Fenway where I've dreamed dreams
A G D
Sometimes it rains, and then it is just damp and cold
A G D
Sometimes I've roamed, its little paths when I've felt old
A G D
Now smell the air, and you'll smell exhaust fumes everywhere
G A
Cause the place is just too narrow not to be bothered by them there
D
But there's silence to the place when you stand there in the sun
G F#m G A
And there's an echo from an era that's already past and gone
Bm F#m
And there is silence in the Gardner Museum
Where's that?
G D
It's on the Fenway where I've dreamed my dreams
D
Well after all, clap your hands
G F#m G A
Bm F#m G D
D
And there's a silence to that place
as you stand there in the sun
G F#m
and there's also this haunting silent sorrow,
G A
Cause the glory days have gone
Bm F#m
And there is silence in the Gardner Museum
Where's that?
G A
Well, it's on the Fenway, as you know, where I've dreamed my dreams

[Bm][F#m][G][D]
And there's a [D] silence to that place
as you stand there in the sun
and there's also this [G] haunting silent [F#m] sorrow,

And there is [Bm] silence in the Gardner [F#m] Museum
Where's that?
Well, it's on the [G] Fenway, as you know, where I've dreamed my [A] dreams
