  B (riff)


             E         C#m   
Well I don’t care your cameras 
  B                E    C#m  
caught me crying as I left your 
     B
gates
             E           C#m      
Or that your maintenance men they 
B                     E       B
caught our last embrace

              E      C#m      B  
Well you were on the verge of 
                E      C#m        
tears when I first knew I would know
B
 you
             E       G#    C#m   
And now your ancient black tears 
     Am         B
they stain your robe

   E    C#m       B               
Calypso will come with me on that 
E       C#m   B
morning April day
       E    C#m   B              
To the city of my childhood in a 
E     B (riff)
cage

       E          C#m    B       
On the broad back of the earth we
      E            C#m   B
 will drive twelve hours straight
          E          G#      C#m  
And we’ll take turns feeling crazy
 Am    B
 and okay

Chorus:

sound

Am     E          B
Of the ambulances singing rounds 
down the avenue

         E       C#m  B        E
Well the Captain of America he 
             C#m      B
sings through his toothpaste
        E       C#m    B         
And the bubbles of his words will
        E    B (riff)
 float away
      E       C#m   B           
As he gargles out a hymn in the 
E     C#m        B
funny fish voice way
    E       G#     C#m      Am   B
And all the sorrow seems to go away

   Am       E       F#            
On May Day, May Day listen for the 
 E
sound
Am     E      B
Of the Geiger counters counting down

Bridge:

   E       C#m       G#          
To one and blast off baby to the 
E     C#m      G#
inter-space of stars
    E      C#m    G#   
Out to the star encrusted 
        B
boulevard...

   Am       E       F#           
On May Day, May Day can you hear 
    E
the sound
Am     E   B
Of the megaphones calling out 
instructions

      E         C#m   B          
And I need your quiet empire 
     E      C#m      B
where forgetful Persians roam
         E         C#m     B     
And with two hands full of silver
         E     B (riff)
 I’ll go home
  E       C#m   B                
Return me to my kingdom where my 
E        C#m      B
children wait for me
   E          G#     C#m     Am 
To build them flying saucers on 
      B
black sea

   Am       E       F#            
On May Day, May Day they are going 
 E
down
Am       E        B
Send the fleet of black-and-whites 
wailing downtown

     E     C#m   B           E   
Lala la la la la la la lala  La 
  C#m   B
la la la la
     E     C#m   B          E      B
Lala la la la la la la lala laaaa
