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:

C X3201X

Em7/C X3243X
