Standard (EADGBE)

 As I walked on to Kendall Square

 And crossed the river basin there

 The Charles was black, the sky was blue

 The view was old, the bridge was new

 And past the flow's constricted mouth

 Commercial lines flowed mostly south

 Or east across a boundless sea

 Where rising soon, the star would be

Repeat Verse Chords

The tides are moved by sun and moon

The spring will last from March to June

The red line train will pass behind

As long as bridge joins stream and sky

And from that point where i did stand

I wondered at the works of man

I wondered how this walk began

Til red line train came round again

 But it's not the time to ossify

 It's not the end of wondering why

 It's not in your faith or your apostasy

 It's not the end of

History

Repeat Verse Chords

As I can take, so I could give

If I could shop where I could live

As I can read, so I'd write books

If I could eat where I could cook

Where talkers have a place to meet

Where walkers walk along the street

And subways travel paths well hid

But ferries take you off the grid

 But it's not the time to ossify

 It's not the end of wondering why

 It's not in your faith or your apostasy

 It's not the end of

Predictable waves of historicity

Nostalgia for gas-lit time I'll never see

Futurians manifest, internationalists

Connected are the promenades and waterways

The living waves of harbor nights and city days

And where is the builder, was there something missed?

Hidden in the plans to the bridge that started this?

Repeat Verse Chords

As I walked on to Founders' Square

And crossed the river basin there,

The Passaic was grey, the sky was blue

The bridge was old, the view was new

And from that point where I did stand

I wondered at the builder's plan

I wondered how this walk will end

Til path train came around again

 But it's not the time to ossify

 It's not the end of wondering why

 It's not in your faith or your apostasy

 It's not the end of
