B Gonna make a record in the month of May In the month of May, in the month of May E G Gonna make a record in the month of May A B When the violent wind blows the wires away The month of May, it’s a violent thing In the city, their hearts start to sing Well, some people sing, it sounds like they’re screaming I used to doubt it but now I believe it Month of May, everybody’s in love Then the city was hit from above And just when I knew what I wanted to say A violent wind blew the wires away Now the kids are all standing with their arms folded tight Kids are all standing with their arms folded tight Well, some things are pure and some things are right But the kids are still standing with their arms folded tight I said, some things are pure, and some things are right But the kids are still standing with their arms folded tight So young, so young So much pain for someone so young Well, I know it’s heavy, I know it ain’t light But how you gonna lift it with your arms folded tight? First they built the road (First they built the road) Then they built the town (Then they built the town) That’s why we’re still driving around And around and around and around and around And around and around and around (And around and around and around and around) 2009, 2010 Wanna make a record how I felt then When we stood outside in the month of May And watched the violent wind blow the wires away If I die in the month of May Let the wind take my body away, yeah Wish I may, I wish I might Don’t lay me down there with my arms folded tight B Start again in the month of May Start again in the month of May Come on and blow the wires away Come on and blow the wires away Start again in the month of May Start again in the month of May Come on and blow the wires away Come on and blow the wires away Gonna start again in the month of May Start again in the month of May Come on and blow the wires away Come on and blow the wires The wires away You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  E  G  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
