Song: 5 Days In May
By:     Blue Rodeo
 
[intro:] {harmonica}  2X [Em | D  |Am  |Cmaj7 ]
[Verse: 1]
Em
They met in a hurricane
D
Standing in the shelter out of the rain
Am                         Cmaj7
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

[solo: keyboard]  [Em D Am Cmaj7]
[verse: 2]
Em
Somehow they stayed that way
D
For those 5 days in May
Am                               Cmaj7
Made all the stars around them shine
Em
Funny how you can look in vain
D
Living on nerves and such sweet pain
Am                        C
The loneliness that cuts so fine
G            F                  C        D
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
And oh it wipes the tears from your eyes
C
How will you ever know
C
The way that circumstances go___
Bm                            D
Oh its going to hit you by surprise
 
   Am
But I know my past
G/B
You were there
   C               Cmaj7
In everything I've done
            Em
You are the one
 
[solo: harmonica]  2X [ Em |D  |Am  |Cmaj7 ]
[solo: keyboard]   2X [ Em |D  |Am  |Cmaj7 ] 
[verse: 3]
Em
Looking back it's hard to tell
D
Why they stood while others fell
Am                          Cmaj7
Spend your life working it out
Em
All I know is one cloudy day
D
They both just ran away
Am                               Cmaj7
Rain on the windshield heading South
G                 F      C          D
Oh She loved the lines around his mouth

 [chorus:]
C
Sometimes the world begins
C
To set you up on your feet again
Bm                           D
And oh it wipes the tears from your eyes
C
How will you ever know
C
The way that circumstances go_____
Bm                            D
Oh its going to hit you by surprise
  Am
But I know my past
G/B
You were there
   C               Cmaj7
In everything I've done
            Em
You are the one
