F Am Dm Welcome to South Dakota A# F Here, in early July F Am Dm Tucked away in the Black Hills A# C On an especially starry night F Am Dm A concrete green Brontosaurus A# C Has a subtle glint in her eye Am A# 'Cause under the moonlight C When the moment is right Am A# Under the moonlight C Things come alive Chorus: A# F Am In Dinosaur Park, long after dark Dm C A# I wonder what happens there? F When no one's around A# C Does some kind of magic fill the air? A# F Am I won't ever prove statues can move Dm C But I'd like to think they do Gm A# C So I make believe with all of my heart (Oh, oh) Gm A# C There's magic afoot unseen in the dark A# F C In Dinosaur Park Boy, I love Rapid City And that hilltop of beasts When I gaze up at that T-rex It's like he's staring back at me Yeah, those old dinosaur sculptures Fill my heart with awe and intrigue 'Cause under the moonlight When the moment is right Under the moonlight Things come alive Chorus: In Dinosaur Park, long after dark I wonder what happens there When no one's around Does some kind of magic fill the air? I won't ever prove statues can move But I'd like to think they do So I make-believe with all of my heart (Oh, oh) There's magic afoot unseen in the dark In Dinosaur Park Gm A# 'Cause when the moon's sitting pretty above Rapid City Dm C There's much more than meets the eye Gm A# And I can only imagine what strange things could happen Dm C When nobody's on Skyline Drive Gm A# And when I leave Minnesota to see South Dakota Dm C I got a lot of things on my mind Gm A# 'Cause I can only imagine what strange things could happen Dm C Up on top of that hill at night Gm Dm What do dinosaurs talk about F C When they're alone? Gm Dm Heh, before the sun comes up A# C And they turn back to stone Gm Am Do they look down on the city lights A# C Even though they don't bat an eye? A# Am And then at night, when the moon is bright G Do they come alive? A# Dm C I have a sneaking suspicion inside Chorus: 'Cause in Dinosaur Park, long after dark I wonder what happens there When no one's around Does some kind of magic fill the air? I won't ever prove statues can move But I'd like to think they do I don't know how, and I don't know why (Oh, oh) But I get the feeling deep down inside (Oh, oh) There's magic afoot in the middle of the night 'Cause when the moon's sitting pretty above Rapid City There's much more than meets the eye And I can only imagine what strange things could happen When nobody's on Skyline Drive And when I leave Minnesota to see South Dakota I got a lot of things on my mind 'Cause I can only imagine what strange things could happen Up on top of that hill at night In Dinosaur Park In Dinosaur Park You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA# Am C Dm F G Gm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
