Lyrics copied from Blue Rodeo website: www.bluerodeo.com
Key: Em
Intro:
Em D Am C
Verse:
Em
They met in a hurricane
D
Standing in the shelter out of the rain
Am C
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
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:
C
Sometimes the world begins
C
To set you up on your feet again
Bm D
It wipes the tears from your eyes
C
How will you ever know
C
The way that circumstances go
Bm D
Always going to hit you by surprise
Am
I know my past
G/B
You were there
C Em7/C
In everything I've done
Em
You are the one
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
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 RODEO 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.
