Perry Leopold - The 35th of May (P. Leopold)

Here's one of my favorite songs from the Experiments in Metaphysics album. Maybe I'll post some more off of that album later. Put a Capo on the 4th fret for this one.

The song has one verse progression and one chorus progression and that is all. Here is the verse:

Aadd9 - E - G - Aadd9

(Aadd9 is just an Am with the B string open instead of the C note)

E I--------------------------------------I
B I-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0--I
G I-------2-----2-----------2-----2------I
D I---------2-----2-----------2-----2----I
A I---0-----------------0----------------I
E I--------------------------------------I

E I--------------------------------------I
B I-----0-----0-----0---0-----0----------I
G I-------1-----1---------1-----1--------I
D I---------------2----------------------I
A I---------2---------------2------------I
E I---0---------------0-----------0--2---I

E I--------------------------------------I
B I-----0-----0-----0---0-----0-----0----I
G I-------0-----0---------0-----0--------I
D I---------------0---------------0------I
A I---------2---------------2------------I
E I---3---------------3------------------I

E I--------------------------------------I
B I-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0-----0--I
G I-------2-----2-----------2-----2------I
D I---------2-----2-----------2-----2----I
A I---0-----------------0----------------I
E I--------------------------------------I

Now here is the chorus part:

D - C - D - C

D I---------2-----2---------2-----2-------I
A I---3---------------3-------------------I
E I---------------------------------------I

E I---------------------------------------I
B I-----3-----3-----3------3-----3-----3--I
G I-------2-----2------------2-----2------I
D I---0-----0-----0------0-----0-----0----I
A I---------------------------------------I

E I---------------------------------------I
B I-----1-----1-----1---1-----1-----1-----I
G I-------0-----0---------0-----0---------I
D I---------2-----2---------2-----2-------I
A I---3---------------3-------------------I
E I---------------------------------------I

and thats it. Not too difficult if you ask me. Here are the words, which are a little bit hippie-dippie for me, but oh well. There's still a wierd cosmic quality to it.

Silver moonbeam on her hair
Blowing in the cool damp river air
Moving gently by the shore
Seems i've seen this night before
Like a dream she takes my hand
As I walk her in the sand
Love can bend so many ways
And I hope this angle stays

Love has come to me today
Remembered as the 35th of May

Stars twinkle in the sky
Nightingales sing nocturnal sighs
My love blends into natures breast
As we lay down to rest
Treasure abounds in my loves eye
I reap the fortune from on high
Silently she sings a song of love
As bells of joy ring out above

Love has come to me today
Remembered as the 35th of May

We made a pact of love tonight
Let two love eachother and mankind
Just then a light fired up the sky
Five hundred clouds had formed a smile
The gods had sent a breath of peace
Blowing 'cross the world from west to east
All wars have ended on this day
This is the 35th of May

What better goal could love achieve
Then to have all men live side by side in peace

Our love has symbolized the truth
Of all that blossoms in our youth
One day love might reign supreme
And I hope this isn't just a dream
