===========================================================
The Last Days in May ( Play Bar chords Bm = 7th fret etc.)
Bm A G F#sus4 F# Bm
Parched land on desert sand the sun was just a dot. And a little bit of
A G Bm D
water goes a long way 'cause it's hot. Three good buddies were laughing and
E Em Bm A
smoking in the back of a rented Ford. They couldn't know they weren't
G Bm E7/B Bm7 E7/B
going far. (7th fret BAR for all these chords)
Bm E D E
Each one with the money in his pocket could go out and buy himself a brand new
Bm D E G Am
car. But they all held the money they had, the money they hoped would take
Bm F#m Em
them very far.

Song is in Key of D so Blues Runs in B work great. Matter of fact B runs
mixed with a little D work good together. I have good luck with B runs.
Note: Buck plays smoothly fast, so get the jist of the song as tabbed and
bend a few notes, hammer on a few and play it smoothly. It is not that easy
to tab this song with feeling. I hope you listen and enjoy.
We used to practice Bm A G F#sus4 F# Bm A G A progressions while playing
the Runs, Blues licks in B and D over it just to get the feel.
