[Intro]
Cmaj7 Am G7 D7 G7 C
Dm7 G7 Dm7 Gm7 C7 Fmaj7
C A7 Dm7 G7 C

[Verse 1]
C                            E7
I must have sent four hundred poems
Dm7              G7
On the way you used to smile at me
Dm7             G7
I used to write them for you daily
C
But my thumbs are running dry lately
D
No one wants to hear a song
Dm7
About the bitch that broke my heart
G7       C             A7
I should have listened to my mama
Dm7             G7
She saw through you from the start

[Chorus]
C             Em7
But now we’re here in Regent’s Park
Dm7             G7
Amongst the flowers and I wish it would rain
Dm7             G7
‘Cause in the sun, you look so lovely
C7
That I’m falling for you over again
Fmaj7
Since I have nothing left to say
C             A7
That will make you change your mind
Dm7       G7             C
I’ll say goodbye on a beautiful spring day

[Verse 2]
C                   C7
There was a place not too dissimilar to this one
Dm7             G7
Where I first saw your face
Dm7             G7
You look like home, sat all alone
G7             C
I should have found somebody cheaper to chase
Em       Dm
Tragically, nobody told me
Dm7       G7
How expensive you would be
C       A7
I lost more than money, dear
Dm7             G7
You knocked the swagger out of me

[Chorus]
C             C7
But now we’re here in Regent’s Park
Dm7             G7
Amongst the flowers and I wish it would rain
Dm7          G7
‘Cause in the sun, you look so lovely
C7
That I’m falling for you over again
Fmaj7
Since I have nothing left to say
C       C7       A7
That will make you change your mind
C7       B7       A7
(Make you change your mind)
Dm7             G7       C
I’ll say goodbye on a beautiful spring day

How to play Regents Park: key, chords and progression

Regents Park by Bruno Major keeps coming home to C major (no sharps or flats). You need 16 chords: Cmaj7, Am, G7, D7, C, Dm7, Gm7, C7, Fmaj7, A7, E7 and D and 4 more.

The progression the song keeps returning to is A7 – Dm7 – G7 – C (VI7 – ii7 – V7 – I in C major). In solfa, that is lah – reh – soh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar almost every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
