Night of the Fourth of May (capo on 1st fret)
[Intro]
Dm
(Riff some other time...Most chords best played as Bar chords)
Dm G F C Dm
Ah the days they flew by and the leaves fell from the trees
F C Bb F Gm
And many times you came around and many times you slept with me
F C Bb F Gm
And every time that we made love you wrote it down in your diary
D
Lady of ladies
Gm F Gm F Eb D
But I would always say to you don't ask about tomorrow
Gm F Gm F Eb D
Give what you have take what you need, your time is only now
Eb D
Don't try to tie me down to promises
Cm D
Live for today, today is all there is
Gm Eb D Gm
And freedom seems to be everything to me
Dm G F C Dm
I took you down to a party on the night of the fourth of May
F C Bb F Gm
And a strange and growing restlessness had hung in the air all day
F C Bb F Gm
The need to try and tear down and destroy all that we made
D
Lady of ladies
Gm F Gm F Eb D
You whispered in my ear and asked me if I fancied her
Gm F Gm F Eb D
you told me that he'd phoned you when I was in America
Eb D
daring each other just to say okay
Cm D
swap for tonight didn't I always say
Gm Cm D Gm
that freedom seems to be everything to me
Cm D Gm
And she came and she sat down beside me
Cm D Gm
and you found an excuse to go downstairs
Cm D Eb D
and she smiled and made the kind of conversation that you do
Cm D Gm
and later on she said my last train has gone
Cm D Gm
oh I wonder if you would take me home
Cm D
and I found you in the hallway
Gm D
and told you that was all that I would do
Eb D
just run her home and it’s through
Cm D
oh I thought that you knew
Gm Bb F Eb
but I must confess, I laid my head on her breast
Gm F Eb
and it seemed so hard to pull it away
