Artist: Arcade Fire
Song: Month of May
Album: The Suburbs
One two three four!
       B5
Intro: 
B5
Gonna make a record in the month of May
In the month of May, in the month of May
E5                         G5
Gonna make a record in the month of May
         A5                     B5
When the violent wind blows the wires away
Month of May, it's a violent thing
In the city their hearts start to sing
      E5                  G5
Well, some people singing sounds like screaming
A5                    B5
 Used to doubt it but now I believe it
Month of May, everybody sing love
In the city, watch it from above
    E5                      G5
And just when I knew what I wanted to say
A5                         B5
 The violent wind blew the wires away
We were shocked in the suburbs
Now the kids are all standing with their arms folded tight
The kids are all standing with their arms folded tight
      E5                       G5
Well, some things are pure and some things are right
        A5                                 B5
But the kids are still standing with their arms folded tight
       E5                       G5
I said some things are pure and some things are right
        A5                        B5
But the kids are still with their arms folded tight
So young, so young
So much pain for someone so young, well
E5                    G5
 I know it's heavy, I know it ain't light
    A5                              B5
But how you gonna lift it with your arms folded tight
First            of the town
That's why we're still driving around
     E5                    G5
And around and around and around and around
     A5                    B5
And around and around and around and around (And around and around and around and around)
Two-thousand nine, two-thousand ten
Wanna make a record how I felt then
       E5                   G5
When I stood outside in the month of May
                A5                    B5
And watched the violent wind blow the wires away
If I died in the month of May
Let the wind take my body away, then
E5             G5
 Wish I may or I wish I might
        A5                         B5
You can meet me down there with my arms folded tight
B5
Start again in the month of May       |
                                      |
Start again in the month of May       |
                                      | x3
Come on and blow the wires away       |
                                      |
Come on and blow the wires away       |
Wires away
