by Leonard Bernstein
 
 
[Verse]
 
B B7         E            A
There's a place for us
F#m    B7        E            A
Somewhere a place for us
B                B7           G#m C#m
Peace and quiet and open air
A            D           B
Wait for us somewhere
B         B7 E          A
There's a time for us
F#m7 B7     E          A  F#m7
Someday a time for us
B           B7              G#m       C#m
Time together with time to spare
A            D      G
Time to learn, time to care
 
 
[Chorus]
 
   C              Am
  Someday, somewhere
                      A7               D
  We'll find a new way of living
   Dm             G7            C        F#7
  We'll find a way of forgiving, somewhere...

B         B7  E           A
There's a place for us
F#m7 B7    E            A
A time and place for us
B            B7                      G#m      C#m
Hold my hand and we're halfway there
A             D                  G
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
C                Am          E
Somehow, someday, somewhere

This is a great song. I'm no expert but I found the chords are much better played as bar chords and as the song/vocals go higher as they enter the chorus climb the fretboard and play the G as a A chord barred on the 10th fret

After the G at 'time to learn', you could add a G7 (I think the lyrics the other way around though, 'time to learn, time to care')

Great
