upbeat: G
Am G F Esus4
parched land no desert sand the sun was just a dot
E Am G F
and a little bit of water goes a long way 'cause it's hot
Am C D
three good buddies were laughing and smoking in the back
Dm
of a rented ford
Am G F
they couldn't know they weren't going far
Am D7 Am7 D7
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/blue_oyster_cult/then_came_the_last_days_of_may_tab.html ]
Am D
each one with the money in his pocket
C D Am
could go out and buy himself a brand new car
C D
but they all held the money they had
F G Am
money they hoped would take them very far
Em Dm
Am G F Esus4
the sky was bright with traffic light now and then a truck
E Am G F
and they hadn't seen a cop around all day (what luck)
Am C
they brought everything they needed
D Dm
the bags and scales to weigh the stuff
Am G F
the driver said the border's just over the bluff
Am D7 Am7 D7
Am D C
it wasn't until the car suddenly stopped
D Am
in the middle of a cold and barren plain
C D
and the other guy turned and spilled
F G Am
three boys' blood did they know a trap had been lain?
Em Dm
Am G F Esus4
they're ok the last days of may but i'll be needing dry air
E Am G F
i'm leaving soon the others are already there
Am C D Dm
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
Esus4
