[Eb]
[Bb] This [C] is
[G]
about the near [B]-miss with the [D] rapture that we had about five years ago, [N] May 21st,
2011.
I was [B] driving around the day before on May [Bb] 20th and saw [B] a big billboard [Eb] and [Bb] decided to
go home and write a song because I thought [Ebm] it might be [Bb] my last day, my last possibility
to write a song.
[Eb]
So [Ab] as I did so, I thought about the guy who put up [N] all these signs saying that May 21st
was [Bb] Judgment Day and I thought, what [B] kind of song might he write if he was [Eb] a bluegrass guitar player?
[E]
[G] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb] [Gb]
[Ab] [Gm]
[Eb]
It's time to bend the soul of your mind.
Oh, it won't be time to [Bb] fly away.
[Eb] We'll meet at the same end.
I'm here [Bb]
in the [Ab] sky.
Hallelujah, [Gm]
the [Bb] 21st [Eb] of May.
[Bb]
[Eb] Sitting in these words of mine, about the coming [Bb] Judgment Day.
[Eb] Yes, the end is drawing nigh.
Hallelujah, [Gm] the [Bb]
21st [Eb] of May.
They [Cm] left for [C] nowhere, building boats, [Cm] then cried when came [Bb] the rain.
They [Fm] mocked me, now [Bb] that I [Eb] don't vote [Cm] on the [Gm]
21st [Bb] of May.

Well, I've never been so sure and I never let no [Bb] one stray.
Except in [Eb] the fall of [Ab] 94.
[Gm] Hallelujah, the [Bb]
[Eb] 21st of May.
They [Cm] left for [Bb] nowhere, building [Eb] boats, [Cm] then cried when [Bb] came the rain.
[Fm] They mocked me, now [Bb] that I [Eb] don't vote [Cm] on the [Gm]
[Bb] 21st of May.
[Fm] They mocked me, now [F] that I [Eb] don't vote [Cm] on the
[Gm] 21st of [Bb] May.
