[Intro 1]
[A][D][Bm][A][D][Bm][A][D][Bm]
[A][D][Bm][A][D][A]

[Verse 1]
Well, I don't [D]care,
your [Bm]cameras [A]caught me crying [D]as I [Bm]left your [A]gates
Or that your main[D]tenance [Bm]men,
they [A]caught our last em[D]brace[A]
Well, you were [D]on the [Bm]verge of [A]tears
when I first [D]knew I [Bm]would know you
[A]And now your ancie[D]nt bla[F#m]ck tea[Bm]rs,
they [Gm]stain [A]your robe

[Verse 2]
Ca[D]lypso [Bm]will come with [A]me
on that [D]morning [Bm]April [A]day
To the [D]city [Bm]of my
[A]childhood in a [D]cage[A]
On the [D]broad back [Bm]of the e[A]arth we
will [D]drive twelve [Bm]hours [A]straight
And we'll [D]take turns [F#m]feeling
[Bm]crazy [Gm]and [A]okay

[Verse 3]
On [G]May [Gm]Day, [G]May [D]Day,
[Em]listen for the [D]sound
[Gm]Of the a[D]mbulances si[A]nging
rounds drowning out the blue
Well the [D]Captain [Bm]of Am[A]erica he
[D]sings through [Bm]his toothp[A]aste
And the [D]bubbles [Bm]of his
[A]words will float [D]away[A]
As [D]he gargles [Bm]out a [A]hymn in
the [D]funny [Bm]fish voice [A]way
And [D]all the [F#m]sorrow [Bm]seems [Gm]to go[A] away

[Verse 4]
On [Gm]May Day, [D]May Day, l[Em]isten for [D]the sound
[Gm]Of the G[D]eiger co[A]unters counting down
To [D]one and [Bm]blast off [F#m]baby to the
[D]inter-space [Bm]of of st[F#m]ars
Out [D]to the [Bm]star en[F#m]crusted boulevard

[Interlude 1]
[A][D][Bm]
[F#m][D][Bm][F#m][D][F#m][Bm][Gm][A]
On [G]May[Gm]

[Verse 5]
Day, [D]May Day,
[Em]can you hear t[Bm]he sound
[G]Of [Gm]the m[D]egap[A]hones
calling out instructions
And [D]I need your [Bm]quiet [A]empire where
for[D]getful [Bm]Persians [A]roam
And with [D]two hand[Bm]s full
of sil[A]ver I'll go [D]home[A]
Re[D]turn me [Bm]to my ki[A]ngdom
where my [D]children [Bm]wait for [A]me
To [D]build them [F#m]flying [Bm]saucers
[Gm]

[Verse 6]
[A]On May[G] Day[Gm], Ma[G]y Day,[D]
[Em]they are going [Bm]down
[G]Send [Gm]the fleet[D] of blac[A]k-and-whites
wailing wailing wailing down[D]town
[Bm][A]
