Third Of May Chords

(ver. 1)
Fleet Foxes
[Intro]
E5 (one option, mute the G string with pinkie)


[Verse]
E                  D       F#m       A         Asus2     A
Plans written in sand look so ... crystalline
                            E
And the light is from the east
                 D
It fell on the fleece
   F#m       A      Asus2     A
Of the ...Palatine

[Chorus 1]
                      E
And every friend of yours
     F#m       G#m        *A*  Asus4(add9) *A*
Was just as soon a friend of mine
     B (barre)       A (barre)
And we stood, congregated
                   E5
At the firing line

[Verse 2]
E          D         F#m        A    Asus2
No way to control everyone you see
                         A
No ties ever holding me down
               D
Silence would drown (??silenced and drowned??)
  F#m                A      Asus2   A
Everything to be (?)
                      E
There's no skin around the neck
                F#m        G#m        *A*  Asus4(add9)  A
That you could sendddddddd theeeeeeee Frontier
      B(barre)A(barre) E        A(barre)
If it's no different, I'd stay together
B(barre) A(barre)        E
Toooooo young, but might roll through the heather
        F#m  G#m  *A*  Asus4(add9)  *A*
With me   [.......vocalizing........]

[Chorus2]
      G6   *F#m*
Was it too slow?
         G#m           F#m
All this change in the night.
       A
Second sun,
              E
At the firing line

[Verse 3]
                 D     F#m    A  Asus4  A
Now back in our town as a castaway
                     E
I'm reminded of the snow,
                D
How everything flowed (fell?)
   F#m            A  Asus4  A
On the Third of May
            E
As if it were designed
F#m               G#m      *A*
Painted in sand and then washed away
  B(barre) A(barre)     E          A(Barre)
Is it no more than the story you tell?
B(barre) A(barre)  E  A(b)
Blind chance and the fighting together
E        F#m  G#m   *A*  Asus4(add9) *A*
With me [.........Vocalizing........]

[Chorus 2]
  G6       *F#m*
Was it too slow?
G#m       F#m
All this change in the night.
A
Second sun,

               Em (7th fret)
At the firing lineeeee

[Breakdown]

Em -> Em7 ->slide down-> Em6 -> Em7 -> Em
(3x total)

[Final Verse]
     Em
I am so in sight
     Em (feel free to hammer on the 7th fret of the A string)
the mask aligned (?the mastermind?)
        F#m
Out of whispering night
         Em7(b9)
Will you come to life
             F#m
And the best that I can say
              Em
'Cause you're a friend of mine
             D   Em     F#m7(11,b9)  G   (this is very percussive)
And why should I waste  my           time
Bm      A    G (folk style, 3x0003)
Fighting the seasons
          D    Em    F#m7(11,b9)  G
And every day, Third     of       May,
Bm     A
Every season

[Final verse again]
   Em (7th fret)
Oh my over night
          Em7
And fight again
 F#m
Out of sight and of mine
  Em7(b9)
Will you try again
        F#m
And the best that I can say
            Em
Is you're a friend to you
               D  Em    F#m7(11,b9) G
And why should I  waste my          time
Bm  A        G
Fighting the seasons
          D    Em    F#m7(11,b9)  G
And every day, Third     of       May,
Bm  A  G
Every  season

[Wrap up]
