# 5 Days In May - Blue Rodeo ------------- From the CD: Five Days in July Words and Music by: Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor Transcribed by: drake@sgl.ists.ca (Drake Hirasawa) Lyrics copied from Blue Rodeo website: www.bluerodeo.com Key: Em Intro: Em D Am C Verse:

^EmThey met in a hurricane ^DStanding in the shelter out of the rain ^AmShe tucked a note into his ^Chand ^EmLater on they took his car ^DDrove on down where the beaches are ^AmHe wrote her name in the ^Csand ^GNever even ^Flet go of her ^Chand ^D

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:

^CSometimes the world begins ^CTo set you up on your feet again ^BmIt wipes the tears from your ^Deyes ^CHow will you ever know ^CThe way that circumstances go ^BmAlways going to hit you by sur^Dprise I ^Amknow my past ^G/BYou were there C Em7/C In everything I've done You are the ^Emone

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) 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. Those chords are: Am X0221X G/B X2000X C X3201X Em7/C X3243X
