5 Days In May - Blue Rodeo ------------- From the CD: Five Days in July Words and Music by: Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor Transcribed by: [email protected] (Drake Hirasawa) Lyrics copied from Blue Rodeo website: www.bluerodeo.com Key: Em [Intro] Em D Am C [Verse] Em They met in a hurricane D Standing in the shelter out of the rain Am C She tucked a note into his hand Em Later on they took his car D Drove on down where the beaches are Am C He wrote her name in the sand G F C D Never even let go of her hand Somehow they stayed that way For those 5 days in May Made all the stars around them shine Funny how you can look in vain Living on nerves and such sweet pain The loneliness that cuts so fine To find the face you've seen a thousand times [Chorus] C Sometimes the world begins C To set you up on your feet again Bm D It wipes the tears from your eyes C How will you ever know C The way that circumstances go Bm D Always going to hit you by surprise Am I know my past G/B You were there C Em7/C In everything I've done Em You are the one [Verse] Looking back it's hard to tell Why they stood while others fell Spend your life working it out All I know is one cloudy day They both just ran away Rain on the windshield heading South She loved the lines around his mouth [Chorus] C Sometimes the world begins C To set you up on your feet again Bm D It wipes the tears from your eyes C How will you ever know C The way that circumstances go Bm D Always going to hit you by surprise Am I know my past G/B You were there C Em7/C In everything I've done Em You are the one Notes: Use an alternating bass/strum pattern, except for last four lines of chorus (from "I know my past...") where the chords are finger-plucked on strings 2 through 5 only.
