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.
