Then Came The Last Days Of May Chords

[Intro]
Am Dm F G
Am G F G
 
[Verse 1]
 Am              G                F              E
Parched land no desert sand, the sun was just a dot
       Am                         G                     F
And a little bit of water goes a long way, 'cause it's hot
   Am                    C                           D                Dm
Three good buddies were laughing and smoking in the back of a rented Ford
      Am                 G             F
They couldn't know they weren't going far
 
[Solo]
Am D7  x2
 
[Chorus]
Am                 D                          C                 D                Am
Each one with the money in his pocket, could go out and buy himself a brand new car
         C             Dm              F                      G              Am
But they all held the money they had, money they hoped would take them very far

[Verse 2]
     Am                   G           F                  E
The sky was bright, with traffic light, now and then a truck
          Am                       G             F
And they hadn't seen a cop around all day (what luck)
       Am                     C                     D                   Dm
They brought everything they needed, the bags and scales to weigh the stuff
      Am             G                       F
The driver said the border's just over the bluff
 
[Solo]
Am D7  x4
 
[Chorus]
    Am                   D              C                     D                Am
It wasn't until the car suddenly stopped, in the middle of a cold and barren plain
        C           Dm                   F                          G                   Am
And the other guy, turned and spilled three boys' blood, did they know a trap had been lain?

[Verse 3]
  Am                 G         F                            E
They're OK the last days of May, but I'll be breathing dry air
     Am               G                    F
I'm leaving soon, the others are already there
     Am                        C          D                     Dm
You wouldn't be interested in coming along, instead of staying here?
      Am               G                 F
It's said the West is nice this time of year, that's what they say
