The Last Days in May ( Play Bar chords Bm = 7th fret etc.)
Bm A G F#sus4 F# Bm
Parched land on desert sand the sun was just a dot. And a little bit of
A G Bm D
water goes a long way 'cause it's hot. Three good buddies were laughing and
E Em Bm A
smoking in the back of a rented Ford. They couldn't know they weren't
G Bm E7/B Bm7 E7/B
going far. (7th fret BAR for all these chords)
Bm E D E
Each one with the money in his pocket could go out and buy himself a brand new
Bm D E G Am
car. But they all held the money they had, the money they hoped would take
Bm F#m Em
them very far.

Song is in Key of D so Blues Runs in B work great. Matter of fact B runs
mixed with a little D work good together. I have good luck with B runs.
Note: Buck plays smoothly fast, so get the jist of the song as tabbed and
bend a few notes, hammer on a few and play it smoothly. It is not that easy
to tab this song with feeling. I hope you listen and enjoy.
We used to practice Bm A G F#sus4 F# Bm A G A progressions while playing
the Runs, Blues licks in B and D over it just to get the feel.

==========================================================================
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BLUE OYSTER CULT tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
