Fifth Of May Chords

[Intro]
Asus2 E B C#m
Asus2 E B C#m
 
[Verse 1]
C#m                    A                   E
Mama's grippin' on her hip on the fifth of May
                  B              C#m
In a photo daddy took in a humid day
                  A
In a town that's anyone's guess
     E                 B
Way out in western Kentucky
C#m                           A
She's broken-hearted as he's ridin' away
      E                B
On a motorbike out to east L.A.
C#m
To find a white line
A
It's such a fine line
E                   B
Between broken and lucky
 
[Chorus]
A               E
Gettin' high's easy
                  B
Gettin' drunk is fine
                C#m          B           A
It's the gettin' by that'll get us all down
           E
So if you need me
               B
Know that I'm bleeding
           C#m           B       A     E  B C#m
Somewhere alone in some coastal town
      A       E   B C#m
Some coastal town
 
 
[Verse 2]
C#m                       A                 E
And I can feel when your body ain't in this bed
                       B                        C#m
I can still hear you laughing last spring in my head
                      A                        E    B
Now it's April and I hate you and I'm heading home
C#m                        A
The little notes that you left for me
    E                 B
In coat pockets and cabinetries
C#m               A
Are in a shoebox where we once talked
E                 B
Back when I felt free
 
[Chorus]
A               E
Gettin' high's easy
                  B
Gettin' drunk is fine
                C#m          B           A
It's the gettin' by that'll get us all down
           E
So if you need me
               B
Know that I'm bleeding
           C#m           B       A    E B C#m
Somewhere alone in some coastal town
       A       E   B C#m
Some coastal town
